Iran's Warning: Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Violate Ceasefire

Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have sparked serious tensions, with Iran calling them a "grave violation" of a US-Iran ceasefire agreement. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh insists that Lebanon is covered by the two-week deal, contradicting claims from the US and Israel. On Wednesday, at least 203 people died in these strikes targeting Hezbollah sites. Khatibzadeh argues that Hezbollah has followed the ceasefire, despite their recent rocket fire at Israel, which they say is a response to ongoing violations. He emphasizes that Iran's message to the US is clear: you can't demand peace while allowing attacks. He also discusses the Strait of Hormuz, warning that ships passing without Iranian permission could face consequences, despite the ceasefire. Khatibzadeh insists Iran wants to maintain a peaceful passage through this critical waterway but stresses the need for cooperation with Oman and the international community. What's important here is that these escalating tensions impact global stability and oil prices, affecting everyone worldwide.
