BÜRGENSTOCK, Switzerland—Iran and the U.S. agreed to the creation of a mechanism to ensure the termination of military operations in Lebanon, mediators said.
The announcement by Pakistan and Qatar, the two mediators in Iran peace talks, came early Monday local time after President Trump on Sunday had threatened Iran on social media over its support of Lebanese faction Hezbollah. The warning caused a flare up in tensions between the two sides as Vice President JD Vance was in Switzerland for talks with Iran.
The discussions were diverted to focus on fighting between the militant group and Israel that imperiled a peace deal Trump signed last week. The administration had originally wanted the discussion to focus on Iran’s nuclear program.
The president’s threats prompted the Iranian delegation to leave the negotiation venue, Iranian state media reported. But officials from Pakistan and Qatar later resumed their mediation, officials said.
