US-Iran talks in Switzerland abruptly canceled

newsJun 19, 2026593,668

Switzerland's foreign ministry announced on June 19 that Friday's US-Iran talks at the Bürgenstock resort near Lake Lucerne will not be held. Iran suspended its delegation, citing Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon and saying a condition in the memorandum of understanding had not been met; the United States also withdrew after Vice President JD Vance canceled his planned trip. The talks were to begin two days after Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum that opened a 60-day window to negotiate Iran's nuclear program and restart oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The cancellation endangers that 60-day negotiating timeline, the push for a regional ceasefire, and efforts to stabilize oil shipments and prices.

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

gregorg25

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

bill doyle25

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 Lalas19

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

Jasper Cabot16

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

Joseph In THEE OC13

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

icookfood2023.bsky.social12

🤡 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....

Betsy Cazden8

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.

Ellik6

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

Ian Fisch6

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

storygrrl4

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

jrielg.bsky.social4

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

CJ 🪷💛4

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

𝙱𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚅𝚊𝚖𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚎 𝚂𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛4

Trump is trying desperately to get out of the war he started at Israel's bequest and now they won't let him out of their contract. Seems a lot like Israel is in charge of the US, no?

daytontalk.bsky.social4

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.

Victoria 🇺🇸🇺🇦🪶🌻🇨🇦4

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

Steven4

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

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

shockandah.bsky.social3

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

B. Intrepid3

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)

Bathsheba in Blue3

Israel didn’t sign any agreement. They never wanted trumps surrender MOU, and are angry w him abt it.

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.

tcoeus.bsky.social2

Can you really say “Israel breached the memorandum” when it was written and signed(?) without any involvement of Israel? No one actually thought Israel was going to stop attacking Lebanon just because Iran said too did they?

Natalie Maxson2

Israel seems to be a world menace.

Big Dill2

Israel said they have no intentions of honoring JD Vance's MOU.

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.

this falls into my "same shit, different day" category

Dave20

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.

Louise16

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

Kat💙11

Is anyone surprised by this development?

Freddie Fan 🌊11

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

Steph K9

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.

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

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!

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

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!

deannalynn1.bsky.social3

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.

This “deal” will never get off of the ground.

Netanyahu done messed that up

I didnt have this on my bingo card: trumps downfall being caused by jim turning on israel

Peter Beaumont
@petersbeaumont1.bsky.social

Netanyahu knows that he can blow up Trump's 'peace' effort by bombing Lebanon. So Israel is bombing Lebanon this morning and the Iran talks in Switzerland are cancelled. And the world can see Trump is a weak, weak man who cannot even control his 'junior' partner in the war.

Iran called off the talks in Switzerland citing that a certain condition has not been met. That condition? Israel is still in Lebanon. Israeli Gov says they're staying in Lebanon. And, (can't believe I'm saying this) I hope they do because at the moment that's preventing a $300B transfer to Iran.

We bombed a school. Paying that money is the decent, human thing to do.

Thembo33

So you hope Israel keeps butchering civilians in order to prolong all the despair and strife caused by the US' aggressions against Iran, all because you don't want Iran to receive money they are owed? There is something wrong with you.

Wildschwein17

Reparations should be paid whatever because of the unprovoked war of aggression. Also, the US should extradite Trump to Iran for punishment, which the whole world would support.

Peder Bjørndal16

Really? Ben-Gvir, Israeli Zionist minister in Netanyahu’s government just said that “for every tear falling from a crying Israeli mom a thousand Libanese moms must cry. All of Libanon must burn.” This is what you support?! Shame on you!

Blue_Riverrrr14

Whoa. Super weird take. Iran didn’t start this war. The U.S. & Israel destroyed vast amounts of infrastructure and killed thousands of civilians - including a double tap on an elementary school. We bombed reservoirs, cutting off tens of thousands from drinking water, bridges, universities, etc.

Agreement is for a total of $400 million

“I think money is more important than stopping genocide” is such an insane thing to admit btw

allysmith.bsky.social5

$300B is the amount the USA Gov have pumped into the Israel colonization project since 1948. This is far from over.

DavidC5

Israel should be forced to vacate every place they are illegally occupying, including the West Bank. If they Want a buffer zone, do it on their own side of the border.

It's been reported that some Israeli officials have said if fat donny actually stops this offensive, they will release certain incriminating documents about donny and Epstein. 🤷

catshadow.bsky.social4

It should immediately ban any further money to Israel. If that means they'll release whatever they're holding against trump, so be it.

virbing.bsky.social4

More pump and dump. It’s not like this wasn’t totally predictable. Reports were that Israel wasn’t going to stop bombing Lebanon. Trump just chose to lie once again to get the stock market to rise.

You break it you own it. Have to pay for damage

$150billion was already sent to Iran and to be honest, they deserve all $300 billion and everything else they negotiated in Americas surrender.

So it’s about the money, how noble of you😉🧐

War is bad. This is a dumb post.

Iran won't accept trump's surrender until he does finally does something about Israel.

Ina Garten of BanBan2

i can believe you’re saying that. i fully believe you’re happy for israel to continue perpetrating genocide in lebanon, because the lebanese people who are suffering and dying exist to you only as an abstract concept, their lives of infinitesimally less value than “owning trump”

No peace deal, gas prices increase next month.

Iran deserves the $300 billion for being attacked by two hostile countries for no reason.
