Iran Threatens to Withdraw from Ceasefire if Israel Continues Lebanon Strikes
Iran warned it will withdraw from the newly signed ceasefire agreement if Israeli attacks on Lebanon continue, with an official quoted by Fars news agency saying Tehran would also consider resuming attacks against Israel. President Pezeshkian stated Iran will respond "decisively" to any ceasefire violation, while IRGC commanders vowed a "powerful response" with "hands on trigger." The White House dismissed Iran's position, with spokesperson Leavitt saying Trump rejected Iran's initial 10-point proposal and that Lebanon is not covered by the ceasefire agreement.
