WASHINGTON/DUBAI, June 19 (Reuters) - Switzerland said U.S. talks with Iranian negotiators on a pact to end the Middle East conflict would not take place on Friday, as Vice President JD Vance dropped plans to travel to Geneva, adding to uncertainty whether a lasting truce can be found.
"The logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable," the White House spokesperson said in a statement on Thursday night. Vance and the U.S. delegation had been ready to depart as soon as plans were finalised.
The talks, set for the mountaintop resort of Burgenstock, would not take place, Switzerland's foreign ministry confirmed, but gave no details.
There was no immediate response from Iran, which had earlier said it was ready to begin technical talks after Wednesday's 14-point accord extended a tenuous ceasefire by at least 60 days.
Iran's negotiators first needed to see signs of the U.S. implementing the interim deal, and there was no confirmation its delegation would travel to Geneva, the semi-official Tasnim news agency said before Vance's Thursday announcement.
U.S. officials had also said they would hold a formal signing ceremony for the U.S.-Iran agreement in Switzerland, but Iran's foreign ministry had cast doubt on the plan, calling it unnecessary after both countries' presidents signed the pact.
The war, which began on February 28 with U.S. and Israel air attacks on Iran, has killed at least 7,000 people, sent energy prices soaring and shaken global markets.
Israel, left out of the peace talks, has distanced itself from the U.S.-Iran accord and kept up fighting against the Iranian-allied Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon, also raising questions about whether the agreement would hold.

GOOD maybe now this horrible crap sandwich of a “Deal” can finally be called off and we can bomb the crap out of Iran again
Mr. President, please restore the blockade of Iran. It is likely the most effective weapon available.
“Lasting truce with Iran”
A mythical fairytale. 🙄
Start bombing again. Target every electric plant and water/sewage facility
RE: Mr. President, please restore the blockade of Iran. It is likely the most effective weapon available.
I gather you’re OK with higher oil prices again?
Quit parading your ignorance. You are confusing the feeble-minded.
We do not have a Deal — only CNN arseholes call it that. There is a signed MOUnderstanding.
MOU’s merely lay out ground rules for continuing negotiations. Boundaries: you don’t do that, and I won’t do this. Now, let’s finish this up.
MOU’s are used throughout the business sector. And, for political ones they act as bait to flush out the stupid (i.e., the ones to kill).
Iran is eating itself.
Lasting truce with Iran, Plastic silverware, Jumbo shrimp, Business park, Deafening silence, Open secret, Original copy
Well NOW Iran says the Strait is open, “We never closed it we never said that you have a safe passage” so basically when Trump posted this this scared them enough because ALL Iran cares about is MONEY..they need the money, money to pay off Hezbollah, trust me those pricks dont fire drones out of the goodness of their heart they get PAID..same with the IRGC, they dont get paid, they get pissed..and this MOU, just throw it in the trash and start bombing Iran’s ass again..the ONLY way to talk to Iran is with violence
giving the Iranian mass-murdering thug regime more and more time to re-arm and re-deploy to renew wider attacks... is not the path to peace. Just the contrary, in fact.
let’s let our great USAF and USN get the job done now, without further delay or BS
We’re not giving Iran any money but gulf states can. Can anybody see them giving their enemy money out of fear? 2029-Think President Kamala.
Time to set some absolutely firm deadlines on when specific key points will be agreed to within 60 day negotiations and which aspects of the ceasefire, blockade, sanctions are tied to meeting progress
I am okay with higher prices if we destroy all of the mullahs and all of those who support them
