US-Iran Talks Postponed After Vance Cancels Trip
US Vice President JD Vance canceled a trip to Switzerland. He was due to meet Iranian negotiators there on Friday.
The cancellation put off planned US-Iran talks. Iranian leaders said the meeting was not needed.
They argued a peace deal had already been signed. President Trump had signed a deal with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The deal was described as one that could end the war. The White House said logistical issues caused Vance's flight delay. Iran's supreme leader said Trump agreed to the deal terms out of desperation.
Klear Note — The US and Iran have had tense relations for decades. Recent peace talks aim to reduce conflict between the two countries.
