Iran threatens to end ceasefire over Hezbollah's exclusion from truce deal
Lebanon and Israel to hold first direct diplomatic talks in decades in Washington
AI Summary
Iran is threatening to end the ceasefire between the U.S. and itself due to the exclusion of Hezbollah from the truce deal. The two-week ceasefire, brokered with Pakistan's help, is intended to pause fighting between Israel and Iran. Iranian officials stated that the U.S. must choose between a ceasefire and continued war via Israel, citing Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Iran's foreign minister and parliamentary speaker have both echoed this sentiment, placing pressure on the U.S. to include Hezbollah in the agreement. Hezbollah had previously violated a U.S.-negotiated ceasefire in November 2024 by entering the war against Israel in March 2025 to aid Iran.
