BREAKING: Iran has suspended its entire 60-day negotiation period with the US over the direct violation of the MOU's first clause, with Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon constituting a breach less than 24 hours after the MOU was electronically signed, per Fars and Al-Mayadeen.
Iran's negotiating delegation had already been preparing to depart for Switzerland to launch the first round of talks before Iran made the decision to suspend the entire trip.
Iran will also not unilaterally fulfill its commitments, and until Iran is fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the US has practically adhered to the first-clause obligations, talks remain cancelled.

BREAKING: Sources close to the Trump Administration say US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is "going after" people because he is worried about being fired, per NY Post.
"Hegseth is very concerned about being fired and he knows that US Army Secretary Driscoll is one of the top contenders to succeed him. So what Pete has been doing is taking anyone he perceives to be close with Driscoll and going after them," the source said.

I’m pissed!
Trump gave Iran a pause on strikes against their energy infrastructure until April 6. So what did Israel do? They bombed all three of Iran’s largest steel plants simultaneously, which are crucial to their economy
And if that wasn’t enough, they also struck Iran’s Khondab heavy-water reactor facility as well as uranium production and uranium-conversion sites
All on the same day
Why did Israel do this? And was it in coordination with the U.S.?
If it’s in coordination, it means Trump lied to Iran. If not, than Israel is lying.
If you take into account the report today that JD Vance yelled at Netanyahu over the phone this week, upset at being dragged into the war by misleading intelligence, then I think you have your answer
Israel seems to be trying to sabotage these negotiations, and it serves their interests to do so.
