The White House said the logistics for the talks had not been \u201csimple or predictable,\u201d and said plans for the next round had not been finalized. The postponement came after the United States and Iran signed a deal aimed at ending the conflict, while fighting in Lebanon continued with reported casualties from Israeli strikes and Israeli military statements about targeting Hezbollah. The report said a US official later stated an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah had been agreed, taking effect at 16:00 local time. Switzerland\u2019s foreign ministry confirmed the talks at the Burgenstock resort had been postponed, while preparations continued, including security patrols and a media center. The negotiations had been expected to focus on implementing a Memorandum of Understanding and to begin discussion of longer-term issues, including Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<h2>Polymarket Data: Switzerland at 68.3% on $15.06M Volume as \u201cNo Meeting by June 30, 2026\u201d Hits 25.9%<\/h2>\n<p>On Polymarket\u2019s multi-outcome contract \u201cWhere will the next US-Iran diplomatic meeting happen?\u201d, Switzerland leads at 68.3% Yes (31.7% No) on $15,061,308 in volume.
