Iran holds US responsible for ceasefire breaches, foreign ministry says

The United States bears responsibility for violations of the ceasefire with Iran and ceasefire violations committed by Israel in Lebanon, Iran’s foreign ministry says in a statement.

It says a ceasefire violation on one front is equivalent to a violation on all fronts.

Iran and Pakistani mediators have said that the US-Iran ceasefire inked in April is supposed to cover Lebanon. Israel and the US deny that is the case.

The US has sought to secure a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, albeit one detached from the Iran conflict.

It brokered such a deal less than two weeks after the Iran ceasefire was announced, but it hasn’t really held, given that the IDF and Hezbollah have had daily exchanges of fire since.
