- Abbas Araghchi warned that Israel’s escalated attacks in Lebanon and Gaza breach the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, which he says applies on all fronts.
- Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf echoed the claim, calling the U.S. naval blockade and Israeli actions in Lebanon evidence of U.S. non‑compliance with the ceasefire.
- Israel deepened its invasion of southern Lebanon, ordering forced displacement of residents in the Dahiye suburbs of Beirut and reaching its deepest ground penetration in Lebanon in 26 years.
- Tasnim news agency reported Tehran has suspended text‑exchange talks with the United States via a mediator because of ongoing Israeli hostilities, demanding a halt to Israeli attacks in Gaza before negotiations resume.
- United States continues to try to separate the Israel‑Hezbollah conflict from its broader dispute with Iran, while Tehran insists any ceasefire must include Lebanon.
Why it matters: Iran’s warning puts pressure on the United States and Israel, risking a collapse of the fragile US‑Iran ceasefire and potentially widening the conflict to include Lebanon and Gaza, jeopardizing regional stability and diplomatic progress.
