What happened
Intense fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon led to the cancellation of diplomatic talks in Switzerland. Officials postponed the trip because the conflict threatened the ongoing negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program and regional stability. The talks, which involved US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, were dubbed the “Lake Lucerne Summit”.
