Iran Claims US Violated Deal Framework, Talks Called Unreasonable
Iran has accused the United States of violating the terms of a recently agreed-upon ceasefire, asserting that the agreement mandates an end to the conflict in Lebanon. This claim is contested by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump, who state that the truce does not extend to Lebanon. Iran’s Foreign Minister declared that the U.S. must choose between honoring the ceasefire or continuing the conflict through Israel, highlighting the ongoing situation in Lebanon as proof of the alleged violation and a test of U.S. commitment. Simultaneously, the White House hailed the ceasefire as a significant U.S. victory and refuted claims of the Strait of Hormuz being closed, stating that traffic has increased and demanding its immediate reopening.
