Iran's Ghalibaf threatens US
Iran warns US and Israel after strikes, citing ceasefire violations and threatening wider regional response.
Summary
Iran's Revolutionary Guards stated their recent attacks on Israel were a "warning" and threatened a broader response to all US and Israeli targets if "aggressions" continue. Iran's top negotiator and parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, accused the US of violating a ceasefire through naval blockades targeting Iranian ships and failing to prevent Israeli actions in Lebanon. The US Central Command reported striking Iranian radar and command facilities in response to "aggressive Iranian actions," including the downing of a US drone. Iran's Foreign Minister warned that any ceasefire violation on one front would be considered a violation across all fronts, specifically mentioning Lebanon. Despite escalating tensions, reports suggest ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire extension and nuclear talks, with the US reportedly seeking tougher terms and imposing new sanctions.
