Iran has warned it will withdraw from the current ceasefire agreement if Israel continues carrying out military attacks in Lebanon, escalating fears of a broader regional conflict.
According to reports from Iranian media, Tehran says ongoing Israeli strikes on Lebanon amount to a violation of the truce and could force it to abandon the deal entirely.
The warning comes after Israel launched one of its largest waves of airstrikes across Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions in Beirut, the Beqaa Valley, and southern regions. These attacks reportedly hit over 100 مواقع within minutes, causing heavy casualties and widespread destruction.
At the center of the tension is a disagreement over the scope of the ceasefire:
- Iran insists the ceasefire should apply to all fronts, including Lebanon
- Israel maintains that its operations against Hezbollah are not part of the agreement
This conflicting interpretation has left the ceasefire fragile, with both sides accusing each other of violations.
U.S. officials have acknowledged the situation is tense, warning that continued strikes risk collapsing the agreement entirely.
Meanwhile, analysts say Israel is preparing for a prolonged conflict in Lebanon, even as diplomatic efforts continue between the U.S. and Iran.
The situation remains highly volatile, with growing concerns that if Iran follows through on its threat, the region could slide back into full-scale confrontation.
