Emergency meeting on Hezbollah conflict planned during US-Iran talks

An emergency meeting concerning the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is planned for the first day of U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland, according to sources. This comes after planned negotiations were abruptly canceled on Friday, with both sides now appearing to make a new attempt on Sunday.

An Iranian delegation has recently arrived in Switzerland, and U.S. Vice President JD Vance was en route. Diplomatic sources told CBS that the conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Shiite militia Hezbollah has been placed as the first item on the agenda.

Israel has been targeting Hezbollah sites in Lebanon for several months, with Iran demanding a cessation of these attacks. Iran stated on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz had been closed again in response to the Israeli assaults. Later that day, Lebanon's Health Ministry reported that seven people were killed in Israeli airstrikes.

Neither Lebanon, Israel, nor Hezbollah are participating in the talks, which mediator Pakistan has said will begin on Sunday.
