US-Iran nuclear negotiations postponed amid Israel-Hezbollah clashes in Lebanon.
Technical talks between the US and Iran scheduled for June 20, 2026 in Switzerland were postponed after Iran requested guarantees that hostilities in Lebanon would end. Four Israeli soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon, and Israeli strikes killed at least 18-21 people. The US-Iran agreement signed June 18 opens a 60-day window for nuclear negotiations and Strait of Hormuz access.
