The first round of talks between Iran and the US, hosted by Switzerland and mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, was disrupted by threatening remarks from Donald Trump. On Sunday, Trump said that if Tehran does not stop its proxy forces in Lebanon, the US will again deliver a "hard hit" to Iran. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of the Iranian negotiating team, responded on X stating: "Don't they realize that if their threats worked, they wouldn't be in the despair they are in today? They better be careful with their statements." This verbal tension came alongside ongoing clashes in southern Lebanon, which seems to have become the main threat to the Tehran-Washington agreement.
