Iran and Israel have paused tit-for-tat attacks against each other that had threatened to unravel the fragile ceasefire in place since April 8, but tensions remain high. Tehran has warned that fighting could resume if Israel continues with its attacks, including on Lebanon.
The ceasefire is also facing pressure from growing public disagreements between Israel and the United States. According to Axios, US President Donald Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be “careful” as continued strikes risk undermining the truce.
The Iranian parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said repeated Israeli violations showed there was no “genuine will to build trust”. He warned that the ceasefire remains brittle and could break.
