  • Iran's Foreign Ministry has warned the United States that a cooperation agreement is at risk if its terms are not implemented promptly.
  • The warning comes amid ongoing Israeli military actions in southern Lebanon.
  • Technical talks between the U.S. and Iran are scheduled for June 21 in Switzerland, with Pakistan and Qatar observing.

Iran's Foreign Ministry has issued a stern warning to the United States, stating that a key agreement between the two nations faces jeopardy if its stipulated provisions are not immediately enacted. This diplomatic alert coincides with continued Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaïl Baghaï conveyed the message, emphasizing that "the other side must take the necessary measures as soon as possible, otherwise the agreement protocol in its entirety will be jeopardized." The protocol reportedly includes a ceasefire in Lebanon as part of broader de-escalation efforts in the region.

Further complicating the situation, Iran announced that "technical" U.S.-Iran talks would take place in Switzerland on June 21. Representatives from Pakistan and Qatar are expected to attend as observers. Iranian negotiators departed for Switzerland on Saturday to participate in these discussions, which are anticipated to focus on Iran's nuclear program, a central issue in international relations.
