US Must Choose Between Ceasefire or War 'Via Israel', Says Iranian Foreign Minister

The US must choose between a ceasefire or a continued war "via Israel", says Iran's foreign minister following today's series of strikes across Lebanon.

In an X post, Seyed Abbas Araghchi says the terms outlined in the two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran are "clear and explicit".

The Iranian foreign minister attaches the announcement of the ceasefire by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, highlighting how Sharif said the agreement would include Lebanon.

"The U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both," says Araghchi, adding that "the world sees the massacres in Lebanon".

He adds: "The ball is in the US court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments."
