Iran Accuses US of 'Flagrant' Ceasefire Violations as Back-Channel Talks Continue

Iran formally accused the United States of violating the ceasefire, citing 'flagrant' actions. Ongoing back-channel negotiations between the two nations aim to de-escalate tensions. Iran warned that any act of aggression would face a proportional response.

Iran issued a direct accusation against the United States, claiming it had violated the ceasefire with 'flagrant' actions. The Financial Times reported the claim as part of a broader context of continued back-channel talks between the two nations. Tehran emphasized that 'no act of aggression will go unanswered' in response to the alleged violations. The accusation comes amid heightened regional tensions, with both sides engaged in secret diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation. While the specifics of the alleged violations remain undisclosed, the warning from Iran signals a readiness to respond militarily if necessary. Washington has not yet publicly commented on the accusations, though diplomatic channels remain open. Sources differ slightly in phrasing, with the Financial Times using 'flagrant' and WION using 'blatant' to describe the alleged violations. Both outlets agree on the core claim and the ongoing diplomatic efforts.
