Iranian Delegation Abandons US-Iran Switzerland Peace Talks Following Threat
The Iranian delegation, led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, temporarily walked out of peace negotiations with US officials in Burgenstock, Switzerland. The protest occurred after US President Donald Trump threatened to strike Iran if it did not force its proxies in Lebanon to halt their attacks on Israel. Both sides later agreed to the creation of a 'de-confliction cell' to stop military operations in Lebanon.
