An unverified report Saturday evening says Tehran is weighing a cancellation of the U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland. The development follows weeks of disruptions and delays, which Iran has previously linked to Israeli military operations in Lebanon.
A single source reported Saturday evening that Iran is considering canceling negotiations with the United States in Switzerland. The claim is not yet corroborated by additional outlets or official statements.
The report follows a volatile period for the talks. On Thursday, an Iranian source told Reuters the talks were suspended, not concluded. Over the preceding week, Tehran had repeatedly blamed Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon for its delays and eventual postponement of the Switzerland round, which resumed only on Sunday, June 21. The talks then shifted to a trilateral format with Qatari and Pakistani mediators, as The Zioneer reported.
The current report, if confirmed, would mark another breakdown in the fragile diplomatic channel. No official U.S. or Iranian confirmation has been issued.
