The Swiss Foreign Ministry has confirmed that talks planned for June 19 between the United States and Iran at the Bürgenstock mountaintop resort will not take place.
The announcement comes after US Vice President JD Vance pulled out of a planned trip to meet Iranian negotiators in Switzerland on Friday to begin discussions on implementing an agreement aimed at ending the war.
Meanwhile, Israel has once again violated the ceasefire by launching fresh attacks on Lebanon, killing 16 people and leaving several others wounded or missing across the Nabatieh district in southern Lebanon.
Despite warnings from the United States to comply with the ceasefire and the terms of the peace memorandum, Israel has outrightly rejected abiding by the agreement.
Israeli artillery fire was reported in the city of Nabatieh, as well as in Kfar Jouz and several surrounding towns, including Kfar Reman and Zebdine, a news agency said. Waves of airstrikes also hit Kfar Tibnit and the Rayhan Heights.
Eight people were killed in Nabatieh and Harouf, while four died in a strike on a home between Al-Sharqiya and Doueir. Three others were killed in an attack on the town of Kfar Sir. Another casualty was reported near the Doueir municipality building.
