On Thursday, Iran's Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, issued a stern warning against Israeli military strikes on Lebanon, labeling them a violation of the recently agreed two-week ceasefire in the ongoing West Asia conflict. He stated that Lebanon and the broader 'Resistance Axis' are vital components of the ceasefire framework, which aims to de-escalate tensions in the region. Qalibaf highlighted comments from Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who affirmed Lebanon's inclusion in the ceasefire deal, countering claims made by Israel and the U.S. He warned that any breaches of the ceasefire would lead to significant repercussions, urging immediate cessation of hostilities. The ceasefire agreement, however, faces challenges as both the U.S. and Israel assert that it does not cover military actions against Hezbollah, complicating diplomatic efforts and risking the truce's stability. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his commitment to ongoing military operations against Hezbollah, indicating a potential escalation in the conflict.
