US-Iran talks in Switzerland abruptly canceled

newsJun 19, 2026252,137

Switzerland's foreign ministry announced on June 19 that the US-Iran talks scheduled for Friday at the Bürgenstock resort in Lucerne were canceled, abruptly halting the planned opening negotiations. The sessions were meant to launch a 60-day phase to implement a 14-point memorandum of understanding to end the Middle East war and were tied to a planned visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, whose trip was pulled. Iran suspended its delegation's travel, saying continued Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon breached the memorandum, while Israeli forces reported overnight strikes in southern Lebanon. The cancellation removes a near-term diplomatic channel to de-escalate the wider regional conflict and stalls U.S. efforts to secure a negotiated pause.

Not even 24 hours and Israel already breached the memorandum of Versailles and carried out strikes in Lebanon. Iran pulled us diplomatic delegation potentially derailing crucial talks with the US. The deal may have already fallen apart. www.ibtimes.co.uk/iran-halts-u...

This deal is the political end of Netanyahu. He cannot allow it to go on. So he will do whatever it takes to scuttle it and force the US back into the war. The US can't jump back in without destroying the global economy. I think we're witnessing the end of the US Israeli alliance in real time.

"Israel" never met a ceasefire it didn't violate

gregorg23

20 minutes ago Meidas posted that Vance had canceled his trip to Switzerland, like it was his idea

bill doyle23

i don’t know why we persist in pretending any deal or document or plan of the trump administration has any meaning at all this isn’t a government

All The Homies Hate Alexi Lalas17

Could just... you know. Cut off all the money and arms to Israel.

Israel didn't sign it. Hezbollah also carried out attacks in Lebanon. Iran vows to keep supporting them.

Israel is not a party to that treaty, therefore it’s not violating anything. Stop spreading misinformation

🤡 Israel was not a signatory to the memorandum of understanding signed at the Palace of Versailles. The agreement, which established a preliminary truce between the U.S. and Iran, was negotiated and signed exclusively by the United States and Iran. www.politico.eu/article/iran....

So funny that Trump decided to sign his ridiculous agreement at Versailles. Placating Hitler, I mean Iran, probably won't work out too well.

tel aviv is a city that exists to test my commitment to opposing the use of nuclear weapons

Ian Fisch4

Hezbollah (which Iran has given $19 billion) fired rockets into Israel 3 days ago. Does that not count as derailing?

Betsy Cazden4

I don't consider Israel "breaching" an agreement that they weren't even at the table for, and certainly didn't agree to. I wish they were in agreement, but it's obvious that the US doesn't have much sway over them.

If someone could just gather up Dumpty, Bebe, and Vlad… and drop them off on an atoll somewhere that would be great.

Ellik3

Israel was never a party to any agreement. They did not agree to any Iranian or US conditions.

CJ 🪷💛3

It’s pretty hard to breach something you didn’t sign.

Victoria 🇺🇸🇺🇦🪶🌻🇨🇦3

Here’s a thought, stop sending money to Israel.

Steven3

Seriously? What did you expect? Netanyahu has to keep the war going or he goes to jail.

Lonnietoft2

The jokes write themselves, but there is ZERO chance that Trump, Kushner, Witkoff and probably a dozen more winged monkeys did NOT engineer a kickback for themselves out of the $300B payout to Iran.

minutesdrag.bsky.social2

So that’s why Vance isn’t going to Switzerland.

jrielg.bsky.social2

Israel was not part of the agreement, why is this so hard to understand?

shockandah.bsky.social2

How can Israel breach an agreement they aren’t a party to?

B. Intrepid2

If they wanted Israel in the "deal", they ought to have included Israel in the negotiations and the memorandum signing. Instead they just went with the fART Of The Deal (the guy who had a ghost writer for his book)

daytontalk.bsky.social2

Is anyone shocked? Israel has clearly expanded its goals, now they want a greater Israel. Most of Gaza already with plans to drive out everyone from the rest through sheer cruelty, settlers killing and stealing land in the west bank. They've stolen 25% of Lebanon and want more.

United States needs to make a complete break with Bibi

If it's Friday the deal must be off. I'm sure they'll have a new one in place in time for Monday's stock market open.

I must be psychic because I knew it wouldn’t last a week.

Dave12

Trump is a slave to Bibi and clearly Bibi doesn't care about what Trump wants. Bibi is playing Trump like a fiddle. Cut Israel off and see how fast they fall in line.

Louise11

I didn't even need a crystal ball to see this coming. Donald Trump has been played the fool again by Benjamin Netanyahu.

Freddie Fan 🌊8

Meanwhile the White House says it's a logistics problem like they can't get a flight to Switzerland.

Kat💙7

Is anyone surprised by this development?

Steph K6

Bibi doesn't want peace, but he does want take pieces of land wherever he can. DT really fucked up with this stupid ass partnership with Bibi.

Middlerage6

It was a shitty peace plan & he can’t even keep that together! 😮‍💨

Bonnie Schwertner6

That idiot Shitgibbon Donald getting involved with Bibi!! 🤬

Oh. Golly. Who saw that coming?

It was inevitable that Bibi would fuckitup to stay in power!

Until trump takes bibi's dick outta his mouth this will never end

Damb it, all this winning is exhausting.

VanillaRage3

A sunset bleeding gold across the sky, a kite dancing in the wind, children laughing like bells in summer. For a breath, the world remembers how peace feels. Then the spell breaks… a voice, a headline, a name—Donald Trump. And just like that...the nightmare resumes. Fu*k you Donald Trump!

🎶 Oops there goes another peacey plan! Oops there goes another peacey plan! Oops there goes another trumpy peace plan! 🎵 Art of the deal, my AZZ!

Good, tRump was getting off way too easy! Iran has tRump by the short hairs They should demand that tRump admit to being a pedophile and resign from the presidency before signing any agreement!

All That eyeliner for nothing?!

MovieEv2

did the ellisons make a deal under the table to buy "24 Hours"?

rosiebeachgirl.bsky.social2

Cut off all funding to Israel and use it for Americans. America is paying for Israel to enjoy universal healthcare as well as genocide.

deannalynn1.bsky.social2

Of course. I'm kind of loving how the world is. Absolutely making him a laughing stock. The timing with Juneteenth tomorrow and the Obama Center opening today. Well it's just icing on the cake.

Nina Rodham Clinton2

So, what? It lasted 48-72 hours???

anonamouspixie2

United Nations should arrange The Arrest of Netanyahu for his Crimes Against Humanity.

Erinn2

Netanyahu done messed that up
