A CBS report says an emergency session on an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire has been added to the first round of U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland, according to a single source — the report is unconfirmed by additional outlets.
CBS reported Sunday morning that an emergency session addressing a potential Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire has been added to the first round of U.S.-Iran talks currently underway in Switzerland, according to journalist Tomer Almagor who cited the report. The talks opened earlier Sunday with U.S. Vice President JD Vance leading the American delegation and Pakistan joining the mediation effort, as The Zioneer reported at 06:29 Jerusalem. The addition of a Lebanon-focused track to a negotiation originally centered on the nuclear file signals Washington's intent to link the two fronts. The CBS report is based on a single source and has not yet been corroborated by other outlets. The story follows a series of reports in recent days about U.S. mediation efforts on the Israel-Hezbollah front, including a CNN report on Friday that Washington relayed an Israeli no-escalation pledge to Tehran.
