An Iranian minister has told the BBC that Israeli strikes in Lebanon on Wednesday constituted a 'grave violation' of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement. Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh claimed that Lebanon was covered by the two-week deal agreed on Tuesday, which the US and Israel dispute, stating that the US must choose 'between war and ceasefire'. The Lebanese health ministry reported at least 203 deaths from the strikes targeting what Israel described as Hezbollah command centers and military sites. Khatibzadeh maintained that Hezbollah had 'abided' by the ceasefire, in contrast to Israel’s actions. Hezbollah responded to the Israeli strikes by asserting it had fired rockets at Israel as a reprisal for the violations. The group has also threatened to continue its attacks until 'Israeli-American aggression' against Lebanon concludes. Khatibzadeh emphasized Tehran's commitment to the agreement reached, which seeks peace in the region while criticizing the US for its military posturing. The complexity of the situation reveals ongoing tensions and the potential for further military conflict, with Iran asserting its role as a supporter of Hezbollah amid accusations of aggression from Israel.
