Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has issued a stark warning to the United States, stating that it must choose between a ceasefire or continuing the conflict through Israel. This statement follows Iran's accusation that Israel is undermining a fragile ceasefire agreement aimed at halting hostilities in the region. The US, however, has dismissed the notion of including Lebanon in the ceasefire, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt affirming that Lebanon is not part of the agreement. Both US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reiterated this stance, with Netanyahu asserting that military operations in South Lebanon will continue to neutralize Hezbollah's threat. Despite these tensions, the US is set to participate in peace talks with Iran in Islamabad, led by Vice President JD Vance, as both nations seek a lasting resolution.
