Iranian negotiators delay Switzerland talks trip after Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon

Iran's negotiation delegation has postponed its planned trip to Switzerland for talks following Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon. The original plan was for the group to meet with U.S. officials to discuss implementing a recently signed ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States. Pakistan and Qatar mediators were also expected to attend. Iran's chief negotiator warned that any violation of the agreement or excessive demands would result in a strong response.

The Iranian negotiation delegation has delayed its departure for talks in Switzerland due to Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon, according to a report by Al Mayadeen network.

The team was scheduled to hold initial talks with US officials on Friday to discuss implementing a newly signed ceasefire agreement between Washington and Tehran. Mediators from Pakistan and Qatar are also slated to take part in the meeting.

Iran's top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, meanwhile, said any breach of the agreement or excessive demands will be met with a strong response.

"We have no doubt about delivering a forceful response if the other side breaks its commitments," he said.

"The task assigned to us by the Supreme Leader is to pursue the fulfilment of the terms and clauses of the agreement."
