High-stakes U.S.–Iran negotiations aimed at advancing a broader regional agreement were abruptly postponed Friday after renewed fighting in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah disrupted the diplomatic process.
Iranian officials declined to proceed with scheduled talks in Switzerland, saying the escalation in Lebanon made continued negotiations untenable unless hostilities stopped. Vice President JD Vance, who had been expected to lead the U.S. delegation, also postponed his trip amid the deteriorating security situation.
