Washington and Tehran announced a two-week suspension of warfare ahead of talks on Friday, but the deal looks dead in the water after multiple violations.
US President Donald Trump’s “double sided ceasefire” whereby Iran would agree to the “complete” and “immediate” opening of the Strait of Hormuz seems to be in trouble.
The 10-point text published by Iranian state-linked media, and endorsed by Pakistan, specifically mentions Lebanon. Israel has refused to recognize that condition and launched what it described as its “biggest yet” series of attacks on the country including its capital, Beirut, killing hundreds, according to the civil defense.
Iran has decried the “Israeli savage massacre” and the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force has pledged revenge for the attack that, according to Tehran, is a breach of the ceasefire agreed with the US.
Trump said Iran’s ten-point proposal delivered via Pakistan offers a “workable basis on which to negotiate.” He warned, however, that he would order devastating new airstrikes if no final deal is reached by the new deadline.
Tehran said the agreement represents a “historic and crushing defeat” for the US, claiming Washington has been forced to accept Tehran’s 10‑point plan as the basis for talks.
Moscow on Wednesday hailed the two-week ceasefire as a “crushing defeat” for the US and Israel, with Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova saying Washington’s “one-track, aggressive, unprovoked attack” approach has failed.
The US has insisted that Lebanon is not part of the deal, according to multiple sources.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also claimed that the current ceasefire does not cover Israel’s war on southern Lebanon, contradicting earlier statements by Pakistani PM Sharif.
Tasnim news has cited Iranian mediators who reportedly spoke to the Wall Street Journal, stressing that Lebanon is part of the ceasefire deal, and that shipping through Hormuz will be closed until Israel commits to respecting the condition.
Tehran’s ten-point plan reportedly includes US commitments to non‑aggression, Iran’s continued control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance of uranium enrichment, the lifting of all sanctions, termination of UN Security Council and IAEA resolutions, payment of war reparations, withdrawal of US combat forces from the region, and a halt to the war on all fronts, including against the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon.

oh what a fkn jewish surprise
The USA are the biggest losers here – the USA should immediately fire directly on Israel to force Israel to comply with ceasefire.
But the USA are instead trapped in their own deception https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/8/564051/World/Region/Inside-the-%E2%80%98Escalation-Trap%E2%80%99-What-Robert-Pape%E2%80%99s-th.aspx
