The Swiss Foreign Ministry said that talks on a peace agreement between the US and Iran, scheduled to take place at the Burgenstock resort on June 19, have been suspended. The ministry did not elaborate, but affirmed that Switzerland remains ready to facilitate the talks and preparations in Burgenstock are continuing.
US officials confirmed on May 18 that Vice President JD Vance had canceled his planned trip to Switzerland. A White House spokesperson stated that same day that the logistics for negotiations with Iran "have never been simple or predictable."
Previously, Washington had hoped to hold a formal signing ceremony in Geneva to mark the implementation of the peace agreement. However, Iran was not enthusiastic about this idea, arguing that the document had already been signed by the two countries' leaders on June 18 and did not require another symbolic ceremony.
The first signs of a rift appeared when Iran delayed sending a delegation to Switzerland. According to Al Mayadeen , this move stemmed from Israel's continued expansion of military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
A diplomat familiar with the negotiations told CNN that Tehran had asked the mediators to ensure that the attacks in Lebanon ceased in accordance with the signed agreement before Iran would return to the negotiating table with the United States.
"The Iranians want clear commitments to end hostilities in Lebanon. Mediators are currently working to find a solution to this problem," the source said.
According to this source, the mediators are currently working to resolve the deadlock.
In a related development, the US State Department said Secretary of State Marco Rubio had a phone call with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on June 19. Rubio emphasized that “Lebanon’s bilateral talks with Israel are the only viable path to reconstruction, economic recovery, and an end to recurring cycles of violence.”
