The ongoing US-Iran high-level peace talks to resolve the Middle East crisis at the Burgenstock Resort in Switzerland reached a very tense and dramatic turn on Monday (June 22). This general meeting, called with the aim of stabilizing the global energy market and international politics, seems to be stuck in a diplomatic whirlpool after a marathon discussion that lasted till late night. According to information received by news agency AFP from an American diplomat, there was such a huge uproar late in the night during the overnight talks that the Iranian delegation left the meeting midway.
Iran enraged by Trump’s statement, diplomatic crisis disrupted
Hopes for global peace suffered a major blow when a recent statement by US President Donald Trump completely infuriated Tehran officials. Trump had warned Iran in a stern tone that it should immediately stop supporting the attacks on Israel by Hezbollah, an organization operating in Lebanon, otherwise it would have to face serious consequences.
Angered by this direct threat from President Trump, the Iranian delegation got up from the negotiating table for some time and walked out. However, diplomatic sources say that this historic peace talks are not completely over or canceled yet. Under the 60-day diplomatic roadmap already decided between the two countries, behind-the-scenes discussions and dialogue will continue in the coming days.
Expressions of global leaders captured in cameras, video goes viral on social media
Some such scenes were seen in the diplomatic corridors of the Burgenstock Resort on Monday morning, which have sparked a new debate on the international media and social media. The activities of the representatives of different countries participating in this high-profile event, their mutual behavior and body language were captured on cameras, the videos of which are now going viral on the internet:
-
Strict stance of Iranian delegation: The Iranian delegation attending the meeting completely boycotted the most important formality of international conferences i.e. ‘Group Photo Session’ in protest against the American stance. They left the venue without getting the group photo clicked. Although there has been no official explanation for this, it is being considered as a strong political signal.

Qatar’s minister showed indifference: According to reports and viral videos, serious questions have been raised regarding the formal handshake between a very senior Qatari minister and US Vice President JD Vance. The incident of Qatari minister maintaining distance from the US Vice President further exposed the diplomatic tension.
The faces of Pakistan’s Prime Minister and Army Chief were blown away.
Pakistan, which is trying to establish itself as a major mediator in this entire peace talks, has faced huge embarrassment due to this uproar. During the meeting, when the Qatari minister hesitated to shake hands with the US Vice President and the Iranian delegation walked out of the meeting room, the faces of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his powerful Army Chief General Asim Munir, present there, paled.
In the pictures and videos, both the Pakistani legends look very uncomfortable and stressed. On social media, users are reacting fiercely to this position of Pakistani rulers and are seeing it as yet another ‘unsuccessful mediation’ of Pakistan on the platform of international diplomacy.
