Talks that had been planned for June 19 between the United States and Iran in Switzerland were abruptly called off, as the Trump administration faces mounting criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. Talks come as Hezbollah, Israel say new ceasefire has been reached in wake of US-Iran memorandum to end war.
