The Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, said Israel’s strikes on Lebanon are a “blatant violation” of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement and their continuation would “render negotiations meaningless”.

A translation of his statement on X reads:

“Israel’s renewed incursion into Lebanon is a blatant violation of the initial ceasefire agreement. This is a dangerous sign of deception and lack of commitment to potential agreements. The continuation of these actions will render negotiations meaningless. Our fingers remain on the trigger. Iran will never abandon its Lebanese sisters and brothers.”

The US and Israel maintain that the two-week ceasefire does not extend to Lebanon, where the Israeli military has launched one of its heaviest barrages of airstrikes yesterday.

Iran and Pakistan, which mediated the ceasefire, say Lebanon is included.

    tbf the “Ceasefire agreement” if you can call it that was put together with 2 tin cans and string

    As far as I can see, Trump said here are our demands for a cease fire and Iran sent Trump their list of demands for a cease fire

    Trump then had a temper tantrum after 5 minutes of negotiating and said I’ll destroy your whole civilisation

    Iran said do it

    China whispered to Iran, hey man maybe just accept this as a work in progress so we can get some oil out?

    Iran then accepted the ‘cease fire’ and Trump did it because he gets to claim it as a win

    Rockets continued to fire as it appears fighters forgot to unset the timers

    Israel then said Lebanon doesn’t count in the US/Iran cease fire because there is no cease fire, it looks largely like they just agreed on twitter to stop firing at each other

    I never seen such a shambles

      More likely than not Iran has a paper trail that proves a US representative did formalize whatever the president agreed to, which is undoubtedly Iran’s full list of requirements for a ceasefire.

      Again, unless the US or Israel goes nuclear (and wants to risk getting nuked by Pakistan) Iran is NOT AT A DISADVANTAGE. The US can only lose this conflict, period. There is no world where the US wins anything. There are only worlds where the US is slightly less worse off, and those also eliminate the concept of israel and most israeli’s from the planet.

      The entire world leadership sees Iran as the only mature and reasonable state in this situation, and they get even more credibility for being the absolutely innocent victim in this entire conflict; especially given the 30 kabillion protestors dead news story got debunked.
