BREAKING: Iran says its negotiating delegation will not return to the Switzerland talks until Trump personally apologizes for his threats today and Israel fully withdraws from southern Lebanon, with Iran's delegation plane already repositioned to Zurich ready to fly back to Tehran, per Al-Mayadeen.
This comes after Trump told Fox shortly before his Truth Social post that if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz "you won't have a country" and "you won't even make it BACK to your f**king country," as a direct assassination threat against the Iranian delegation.
Iran is suspending its delegation for ceasefire negotiations after Israel failed to withdraw and cease actions in Lebanon.
Iran says it will not uphold its agreement until they receive assurances of Israel’s assent to the plan.
