Summarise
A formal signing ceremony has been cancelled, raising uncertainty about the new 60-day ceasefire agreement.
The US-Iran agreement grants Iran sanctions relief and asset unfreezing, conflicting with President Trump’s prior demand for “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER”.

The White House said the US looked forward to “beginning technical talks as soon as possible”, as it announced that JD Vance, who is leading negotiations for the Trump administration, would now not be travelling.
“The logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable. As of now the vice-president is not departing tonight,” a White House spokesperson said late on Thursday.

The peace talks were scheduled to be held at the Burgenstock resort in Switzerland on Friday
Switzerland announced that US talks with Iranian negotiators regarding a Middle East peace pact will not occur this Friday as per scheduled plan.
Vice President JD Vance also cancelled his trip to Geneva, thereby casting doubt on the prospects for a lasting truce in the Middle East.
To make the future of peace talks more uncertain, a White House spokesperson issued a statement on Thursday, “The logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable.”
The peace talks were scheduled to be held at the Burgenstock resort in Switzerland. However, the Swiss foreign ministry has not provided any detail why the negotiations were cancelled at the eleventh hour.
The announcement comes after the US and Iran signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding, establishing a 60-day ceasefire. The agreement not only ended the months-long conflict on all fronts but also provided Iran with relief from economic sanctions, unfrozen tens of billions of dollars in assets, and issued waivers for Iranian oil exports.

Handshake row at Swiss summit after Trump warns Iran of military action
High-level US–Iran talks in Switzerland got off to a tense and symbolic start after the Iranian delegation refused to take part in a planned handshake and joint photo-op with American officials, following fresh threats from US President Donald Trump.
The move escalated diplomatic friction at the Burgenstock resort, where both sides had gathered alongside mediators from Pakistan and Qatar in an effort to advance negotiations aimed at easing wider regional tensions.
Video footage shared by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency showed the Iranian delegation — led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi — leaving the conference room ahead of the scheduled media event with the US side.
Iran’s state news agency IRNA said the delegation exited the venue after meeting mediators from Qatar, shortly after Trump issued fresh threats on social media.
The walkout came as Trump repeated warnings of military action against Iran, prompting Tehran to accuse Washington of undermining the negotiations even …

Just days after Washington and Tehran unveiled a fragile roadmap to end the war that began on February 28, the much-anticipated next round of talks in Switzerland's Burgenstock has been abruptly postponed, fuelling uncertainty about whether a lasting peace can be found in the region.

"We look forward to beginning technical talks as soon as possible."

JD Vance departs for Switzerland as White House looks to get talks with Iran back on track
TYRE, Lebanon --U.S. and Iranian negotiators headed to a Swiss venue Saturday for talks on adding key details to their interim agreement to halt the war, hours after Tehran said it closed the Strait of Hormuz because of Israel's attacks in Lebanon and warned that little might be achieved if the fighting doesn't stop.
U.S. President Donald Trump, in response, unleashed a new threat to impose American tolls in the crucial waterway if a final deal with Iran isn't reached in 60 days, saying the money would be for "services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East." The agreement calls for toll-free travel for 60 days.
The announcements indicated a rough start to the technical-level talks that key mediator Pakistan said will begin Sunday, with Qatari mediators also participating.

Both Vice President V and Iranian officials postponed their meetup in Switzerland after just yesterday the Vice President had pledged to pursue talks with Iran as soon as this weekend. Officials were reportedly insistent that fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon stop before formal talks take place, but hours later, officials confirmed Israel and the Iran-backed militant group agreed to renew their ceasefire. The new US and Iran agreement demands that there is an immediate end to military operations on all. Fronts including the fighting happening in Lebanon.

Talks between the United States and Iran that were scheduled for June 19 in the Swiss resort town of Burgenstock won't take place as planned, according to astatementissued by Switzerland's Foreign Ministry on June 19.
"The planned talks between the US, Iran, Qatar and Pakistan have been postponed," the statement said.
"Switzerland remains ready to facilitate these talks. The relevant preparatory work at Burgenstock is continuing. No further information can be provided at present," it added.
The announcement followed comments from a White House spokesperson overnight indicating that US Vice President JD Vance had canceled a planned trip to Switzerland, where he was expected to meet with Iranian negotiators to start talks on a peace agreement to end their war.
The White House cited logistical challenges as the reason for postponing Vance's trip.
The meeting had been scheduled just two days after the leaders of the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) outlining steps to end the war in the Middle East. A 60-day period for talks on the broader peace agreement began on June 18.

US-Iran talks canceled as Vance postpones Switzerland trip
Planned talks between the United States and Iran in Switzerland were canceled on Friday after U.S. Vice President JD Vance postponed a trip to meet Iranian negotiators, amid mounting tensions over the fragile ceasefire in Lebanon.
Switzerland’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that negotiations scheduled for Friday at the Qatari-owned Bürgenstock resort would not take place. “Talks that had been planned for Friday between the United States and Iran at the Bürgenstock mountaintop resort in Switzerland will not take place,” the ministry said.
The White House announced late Thursday that Vance would not travel to Switzerland, citing logistical issues.
“The plans for the upcoming technical talks have not been finalized and the U.S. delegation has been prepared to depart at the first available opportunity,” the White House said in a statement. “But the logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable.”
The cancellation came hours after reports that Iran had suspended its own delegation’s travel plans, citing continued Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon.

The Swiss foreign ministry said negotiations involving the US, Iran, Qatar and Pakistan would not proceed as scheduled.
The delay comes days after Washington and Tehran signed a framework agreement that gives the two sides 60 days to negotiate a final settlement. Image: Shutterstock
Talks between the United States and Iran scheduled for Friday in Switzerland have been postponed, Swiss authorities said, as fresh violence in Lebanon cast a shadow over efforts to cement a newly signed agreement to end the West Asia conflict.
The Swiss foreign ministry said negotiations involving the United States, Iran, Qatar and Pakistan would not go ahead as planned at the Bürgenstock resort, without providing a new date.
"The planned talks between the US, Iran, Qatar and Pakistan have been postponed. Switzerland remains ready to facilitate these talks. The relevant preparatory work at Bürgenstock is continuing. No further information can be provided at present," the ministry said in a statement.
