"Talks between Iran and the US in Switzerland were postponed due to Israel launching a wave of deadly air strikes on southern Lebanon, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Iran did not send a delegation to Switzerland for the nuclear talks because of the attacks, the people said. The interim agreement signed by the US and Iran on Wednesday stipulates the “immediate and permanent termination” of fighting, including in Lebanon.
“The Iranians have asked for guarantees that hostilities in Lebanon will end, as outlined in the signed agreement, and mediators are currently working to resolve the issue,” a diplomat with knowledge of the matter said.
Israeli air strikes overnight and into Friday morning hit more than 10 villages across southern Lebanon, killing 18 people and wounding 33, according to the Lebanese health ministry."
