Planned talks between the United States and Iran in Switzerland have been postponed. The meetings, which were previously scheduled for Friday, were intended to reach a permanent end to the war.
The delay comes as Israel and Hezbollah trade new strikes in southern Lebanon. Tehran has held back from the talks to cement a ceasefire due to these ongoing Israeli attacks.
This escalation threatens to derail progress on a deal to end the war. The U.S.-Iran agreement now faces an early test as fighting in Lebanon reignites and next-phase talks are called off.
