The ceasefire is in trouble less than 24 hours after it was agreed, that much is clear.
The Speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said three tenets of Iran’s 10-point proposal for ending the war had already been violated.
Israel’s ongoing attacks in Lebanon, the presence of an “intruding” drone near the Iranian city of Lar, and the denial of Iran’s right to enrich uranium, were all cited in a statement Ghalibaf posted on X.
“Now, the ‘very workable basis on which to negotiate’ has been openly and clearly violated, even before the negotiations began,” he said.
“In such a situation, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations is unreasonable.”
