Iran Demands Lebanon Ceasefire as Non-Negotiable Term for US Peace Deal

Iran, through its top diplomat Abbas Araghchi, declared a ceasefire in Lebanon as a non-negotiable condition for any peace deal with the United States. The demand comes amid accusations that the US and Israel are responsible for ceasefire violations. Iran halted indirect talks with the US after Israel's military actions in Lebanon.

Iran's foreign ministry, via its spokesperson Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, warned that any breach of the US ceasefire on one front violates the entire truce. The Iranian state media reported that Iran had suspended indirect negotiations with the US following Israel's orders to push deeper into Lebanon. Tehran accused the US of failing to uphold the ceasefire terms, with Israel's actions being a key point of contention. Tehran says the US is responsible for the consequences of Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon. Washington, however, has not publicly acknowledged these claims, with US President Donald Trump stating that talks were ongoing at a 'rapid pace.' The Middle East Eye and Anadolu Ajansı reported that Iran's negotiator accused the US of failing to uphold the ceasefire deal, while TASS and IRNA emphasized Iran's stance on the consequences of ceasefire violations. The divergence highlights the lack of clarity in diplomatic communications between the two nations.
