Vice President JD Vance and negotiators in Iran have delayed peace talks and a planned formal signing of a peace agreement between the US and Iran due to fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.

Conflict in the Region

Overnight, at least 18 people were killed in strikes in Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. Four Israeli soldiers were also killed by Hezbollah militants, the Israeli military said.

The fighting has brought an agreement to end hostilities between the United States and Iran to an abrupt halt. Vance and negotiators in Iran were supposed to travel to Switzerland on Friday to sign a formal memorandum of understanding.

The memorandum of understanding gives negotiators 60 days to agree on a status for Iran’s nuclear program and set up a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. The memorandum does not include mentions of Iran’s support for terrorist proxies, including Hezbollah.
