Talks set to take place on Friday between the ⁠United States ⁠and ​Iran on implementing the 14-point agreement to end their war have been cancelled, Switzerland's foreign ministry has announced, Report informs via The Guardian.

The talks were set to begin in the tiny Swiss village of Obbürgen on Friday, two days after the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that opened a 60-day window to negotiate a permanent understanding about Iran's nuclear program while getting oil traffic moving through the Strait of Hormuz.

The White House said the US looked forward to "beginning technical talks as soon as possible", as it announced that JD Vance, who is leading negotiations for the Trump administration, would now not be travelling.

"The logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable. As of now, the vice-president is not departing tonight," a White House spokesperson said late on Thursday.

The cancellation of the talks came so abruptly, that Vance's staff and a small pack of journalists had even gathered at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington in anticipation of the trip. Dozens of White House officials, advance staffers and media were already in Switzerland to prepare for Vance's anticipated arrival.

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, said on Thursday that he had approved the MOU despite reservations, while at the same time, the United States officially lifted a blockade of Iranian ports.

But the semi-official Tasnim news agency said before the talks were cancelled that Iranian negotiators needed ⁠to see signs of implementation of the interim agreement from the US before the next rounds of peace talks could begin, and that there was no confirmation that its delegation would travel to Geneva.

The cancellation of the talks came after a report from Al-Mayadeen, an Arabic language network that is politically allied with the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, that said Tehran was delaying sending its delegation to Switzerland due to Israel's ongoing military campaign in Lebanon.

Israel, which was not included in the peace talks and has distanced itself from the US-Iran agreement, has continued its fighting against Hezbollah in Lebanon and launched fresh ​airstrikes early on Thursday.

The MOU calls for the "permanent termination" of the war in Lebanon and for the country's "territorial integrity and sovereignty" to be ensured. US President Donald Trump has said he expects a complete ceasefire on all fronts.

The government of Benjamin Netanyahu has continued to stress that it has no intention of withdrawing from Lebanon, leading to open criticism from Trump and Vance of Israel's operations.

On Friday, Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Ghalibaf, warned against any breach of the agreement, saying "in case of misconduct, breach of treaty and excess of the other side, We have no doubt that decisive respond will be given to the enemy."

The diplomatic back-and-forth over the planned talks adds to the uncertainty over ​whether a lasting truce can be found to a regional war that has killed at least ‌7,000 people, sent energy prices soaring and shaken global markets.

Khamenei on Thursday said Trump had signed the deal "out of desperation" and signalled that upcoming talks would not be easy.

"If the American side wants to be too demanding, we will not accept it," he said in a written message. The deal gives negotiators 60 days to reach agreement on the status of Iran's nuclear program unless ‌both sides agree to an extension, and set up a $300bn reconstruction fund for Iran and other financial incentives.

On Thursday, US forces lifted their naval blockade of Iranian ports that had prevented ships from sailing to or from the Islamic Republic, the US military said, noting that American warships "will remain in the general area".

Activity was still muted in the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic bottleneck for energy shipments that Iran blockaded during the conflict.

Israel Must Be Called to Order:
You cannot broker peace while one side keeps pouring fuel on the fire.

The new US-Iran MOU was a bold step, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting blockades, and creating a 60-day window for a nuclear deal with a $300 billion reconstruction fund. Iran’s sovereignty was guaranteed. Yet talks collapsed in Switzerland because Israel continues bombing Lebanon.

Hard truth: No peace deal will survive if Israel is not brought to order. You cannot kill your way to submission in the Middle East. Brute force has limits, Vietnam and Afghanistan taught us that.Israel is strong, but not stronger than America. When Trump and JD Vance demand a ceasefire, Netanyahu must listen. The tail cannot wag the dog.

Real strength lies in negotiation and respect for sovereignty, not endless wars. Iran is ready to talk. Bullets cannot replace dialogue.Peace is still possible, but only if Israel is called to order. Negotiation is wisdom. The world needs peace.

If this is true, then it's obvious someone isn't commited to peace. It has to be the third party.

Make una dey play, Israel was on their own when Hezbollah attacked, Israel warned Lebanese govt of the consequences of Hezbollah actions, Israel pleaded with UN, Lebanese army to call Hezbollah to order. Israel warned Hezbollah to stay off this conflict but they refused.
They priced and now must face the consequences of their action.
Israel has said they are not bounded by the agreement, and theres no mention of isreal in that paper, iran can go ahead and close the hormuz, idf dont give a f**k, when they are done with Hezbollah they will learn the bitter lesson like hamas to mind their business.
Thereafter Israel will reason iran matter, for now, the job must be completed once and for all in Lebanon.

We are tired of buying fuel for over 1000 naira o

Abeg o

Make them do talk o

We need fuel price down o

Iran just dey dribble Trump like Okocha. Oomoh, I'm loving it

Who price must pay. Iran will make life hard for Americans, expect prices to soar above previous highs if oil shoots up again. As for dangote he better not exceed the 1300 price of fuel, as he refused to bring prices down when oil plunged from 100 to 74$

Them just dey use Trump catch cruise. To the extent people don't take him serious anymore when he makes statement. Because he might still come and say opposite the next day.. Small iran ,you are just dancing up and down

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Make them come Nigeria do talk abeg

Just say Israel

7 more characters needed

Unfortunately the USA is already running out of their reserves, their assets greatly depleated by Iran across the middle east, with little or no achievement

If the USA couldn't achieve these things with guns and bombs, I do not think Iran is willing to cede these things with some "agreement"

WHEN IRAN FINISHED DEALING WITH USA, TRUMP WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE ENGAGING IN ANY FRUITLESS WARS.

I CAN 100% BET THAT IRAN WILL KEEP TRUMP OCCUPIED FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS 2ND TENURE.

NEVER ENGAGED IN A WAR YOU CAN'T WIN......... AFTER THIS WAR, ISREAL WILL KNOW THEIR THEIR PLACE AND AMERICA WILL ALSO KNOW THEIR PLACE.

Iran and the USA cannot sign a peace deal without Israel being in the room and agreeing to it…

Israel will be like y’all go ahead and be signing, I’m not in the mix..

Like for Israel (God's own country)
Share for Iran and Trump (the muumu duo)

Do not negotiate with terrorist.

Abeg settle your differences, since I buy my new car I never drive enjoy myself wella, cause of fuel cost

Is there still any doubt which country is determined to ensure that there is never peace in the middle east?
The same blood thirsty country that can never rest without mass murder.

Dangote and the rest smiling right now

Hezbollah must be disarmed
no room for terrorists
God1000 how u dey?

Peace must prevail whether Israel likes it or not

Leave Isreal out of your mouth.....we have nothing to do with deal or endless and meaningless talks

Never negotiate with terrorists.

You this Christians supporting evil

Iran and USA has made it clear that Israel is the problem of the world and in no time Israel will use it's own hand to destroy itself

Iran should just send 200 cluster munitions to Israel as an introduction if they proof stubborn

I am loving you Israel
Keep this fire on

GOD bless the state of Israel

Israel doesn't trust Iran one bit, to them "once a terrorist, always a terrorist"



Israelis are ready to fight Iran and other terrorist nations with the last drop of their blood.

The so-called peace talk between America vs Iran doesn't concern them.
