Iran Suspends Talks with U.S. Amid Israel’s Attacks on Lebanon

HeadlineJun 02, 2026

Iranian diplomats have suspended talks with the United States after warning that Israel’s attacks on Lebanon and the Gaza Strip could doom ongoing ceasefire negotiations with the Trump administration. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Monday that the U.S. had already violated its ceasefire with Iran when it imposed a naval siege on Iranian ports. He also said Israel’s attacks on Lebanon constituted a ceasefire violation on a separate front. After headlines, we’ll go to Beirut to speak with Associated Press reporter Kareem Chehayeb, whose latest piece is headlined “Trump says Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to dial back fighting.”
