THE TELEGRAPH: Iran has pulled out of peace talks with the US following continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon, Tehran’s state media reported.
“Given the continuation of the Zionist regime’s crimes in Lebanon, and considering that Lebanon was among the preconditions of the ceasefire, which has now been violated on all fronts ... the Iranian negotiating team is suspending talks,” Tasnim said.
The state media outlet, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, also warned that Iran would block the Strait of Hormuz again and “activate other fronts, including the Bab El-Mandeb Strait”.
Tehran had warned that a truce in Lebanon was a precondition for securing any peace deal with the US, and the suspension of negotiations marks a dramatic collapse of nearly two months of talks.
The decision came after Benjamin Netanyahu ordered fresh strikes against Beirut on Monday. LIVE » | Lily Shanagher. Emily Smith | Monday, June 1, 2026
