US-Iran negotiations have hit a sudden roadblock after Tehran pulled back from talks, linking any further engagement with Washington to an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon. The move comes in the aftermath of devastating Israeli airstrikes in Beirut that have reportedly left hundreds dead, shaking an already fragile diplomatic landscape.
