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.
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.
