Earlier today, there had been a tough standoff between Iran and the U.S.. The warning from the Iranian Foreign Ministry was stern, as it had threatened not to sign the agreement between Tehran and Washington, as it characterized the attack by Israel in Lebanon as a “serious violation of the ceasefire agreement.”
“We unequivocally condemn the terrorist act committed by the Zionist entity through a military attack on a residential area in the southern suburbs of Beirut,” the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced earlier today. “This terrorist crime also constitutes a serious violation of the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the U.S. ,” the same statement noted. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Guards are preparing for five-stage military attacks against Israelin response to today’s Israeli attack on Lebanon.
According to Israeli media, Iran’s negotiating team is reportedly stating that “no peace agreement with the U.S. will be signed today.” According to reports, “Tehran is preparing to convey its final terms to Washington via mediators from Qatar.” Sources close to the negotiations report that “the recent attacks in Beirut have complicated the negotiations.”
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that “Iran rejects U.S. incentives to refrain from attacking Israel and will soon respond to the attacks in Beirut.” Another report states: “Iran is considering the U.S. proposal while the threat of a missile attack looms.” According to reports, Iran continues to examine the incentives offered by the U.S. to avoid an attack on Israel following the bombing in Beirut.
The latest reports state that “intensive talks are underway between the US and Iran aimed at preventing a missile response, despite previous reports that Tehran had rejected Washington’s proposal.”
