Iran blames US for Israeli strikes on Lebanon

Baghaei emphasized that a total cessation of hostilities in Lebanon remains a cornerstone of the memorandum of understanding reached earlier this week. By failing to restrain its ally, the U.S. is effectively violating the spirit of that agreement, according to the ministry. Tehran has signaled it is prepared to take decisive action to safeguard its strategic interests, regional security, and long-standing allies if the violence continues unabated. This latest diplomatic friction highlights the mounting pressure on the recent U.S.-Iran consensus as tensions spill over borders.
