Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe ceasefire could collapse rapidly if Israel continues striking Lebanon, warns an adviser to Iran’s parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
Mahdi Mohammadi writes in a post to X that there will not be a ceasefire if Israel continues striking Lebanon.
“Only limited hours remain,” Mohammadi says.
Without “fully restraining” Israel in Lebanon, “there will be no ceasefire or negotiations, and the missiles are ready to launch,” he adds.
