A crisis erupted in the ceasefire agreement, which has become uncertain. Iran's ambassador to Islamabad, Reza Amiri Moghaddam, deleted his social media post stating that despite Israel's violation of the ceasefire agreed upon with the U.S. to sabotage diplomatic efforts, the Iranian delegation would travel to Pakistan tonight to discuss the ceasefire.
Within 24 hours of the ceasefire declared between the US and Iran, Israel's attacks on Lebanon led to a crisis. The attacks, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds, have made the future of the agreement controversial.
FIRST IRANIAN DELEGATION WAS SAID TO COME, THEN IT WAS DELETED
Iran's Ambassador to Islamabad, Riza Emiri Mukaddem, deleted his post regarding the Iranian delegation's visit to Pakistan. In the post he made on the US-based X social media platform and later removed, Mukaddem stated that Israel violated the ceasefire reached with the US to sabotage diplomatic efforts, which has led to doubts in the Iranian public. He mentioned, "Although there are doubts in the public, the Iranian delegation is coming to Islamabad tonight for talks based on the 10-point proposal suggested by Iran at the invitation of Mr. Shahbaz Sharif."
WILL IRAN WITHDRAW FROM THE CEASEFIRE?
On the other hand, Iranian media claimed in recent hours that if Israel's attacks on Lebanon do not cease, the Tehran administration will withdraw from the ceasefire agreement. An Iranian official stated that the US has accepted to halt the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, saying, "Despite this, the Zionist regime (Israel) has openly violated the ceasefire since this morning, carrying out ruthless attacks against Lebanon. If Israel continues to violate the ceasefire by persisting in its attacks on Lebanon, Iran will withdraw from the agreement."
Iranian President Pezeshkian stated that Iran accepted the ceasefire proposal within the framework of responsibility and a strong approach, saying, "The ceasefire in Lebanon is a fundamental part of the 10-point agreement reached with the US."
The Revolutionary Guards stated, "If the attacks on Lebanon do not stop, the aggressors in the region will regret it."
The White House, on the other hand, argued that the 10-point ceasefire plan announced by Iran is different from what was communicated to the US.
ARAKCHI HAD THROWN DOWN THE GAUNTLET
Netanyahu claimed that the ceasefire with Iran does not include Hezbollah and said, "Israel will continue to attack Hezbollah."
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi stated, "The conditions for the ceasefire are clear and explicit. The US has to make a choice. Either it will choose the ceasefire, or Israel will continue to attack Hezbollah. The ball is now in the US's court. The world will see whether the US keeps its word."
2-WEEK CEASEFIRE INCLUDING ISRAEL BETWEEN THE US AND IRAN
Following the attacks initiated by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28, which turned into a war with Iran's retaliations and attacks on some regional countries, US President Donald Trump announced on April 8 around 01:30 that he accepted the ceasefire.
Trump stated that they accepted a 2-week ceasefire on the condition of opening the Strait of Hormuz, that they received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and that this serves as a viable basis for negotiations.
The Iranian National Security High Council, which stated that "Iran has achieved its objectives in the war," also reported that the final negotiations are aimed to be concluded in Islamabad within a maximum of 15 days.
Turkey, Pakistan, and Egypt made intense efforts for the continuation and conclusion of the message exchange between the US and Iran.
The Israeli administration, which announced its support for the temporary ceasefire, continues its attacks on Lebanon, arguing that the issue of Lebanon is not included in the agreement.
