New Delhi: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has hit out at Israel’s latest strikes in Lebanon, calling them a clear breach of the current ceasefire. He warned that these military actions are making ongoing negotiations effectively pointless, as tensions in the region continue to rise.
In a post on social media, he said, “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.”
Pezeshkia added, “The continuation of these actions will render negotiations meaningless.” He also issued a strong warning of providing support for Lebanon as he said, “Our fingers remain on the trigger. Iran will never abandon its Lebanese sisters and brothers.”
تجاوز دوباره رژیم صهیونیستی به لبنان نقض آشکار توافق اولیه آتشبس است. این نشانه خطرناکی از فریب و عدم پایبندی به توافقات احتمالی است. تداوم این اقدامات، مذاکره را بیمعنا خواهد کرد. دستهای ما بر ماشه باقی است. ایران هرگز خواهران و برادران لبنانی را تنها نخواهد گذاشت. https://t.co/T3Wy3qBqcE

Pezeshkian’s remark came after U.S. President Donald Trump had agreed “to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks” on Thursday.
