Tehran and Washington have postponed the direct talks to hammer out the details of their tentative agreement to end the war in Iran, Switzerland’s Foreign Ministry announced on Friday.

“The planned talks between the U.S., Iran, Qatar and Pakistan have been postponed … Preparatory work on the Bürgenstock [a luxury resort on a mountain next to Lake Lucerne] will continue. No further information can be provided at this time,” the ministry said in a brief statement.

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday said he planned to participate in the direct talks in Switzerland this weekend.
