Iran has accused the Trump administration of ceasefire violations and will move to close the Strait of Hormuz and stop exchanging messages with the U.S. through intermediaries, Iran\u2019s state-affiliated outlet Tasnim News Agency reported Monday.<\/p>\n
The report, translated from a post on the messaging app Telegram, pointed to Israel\u2019s military operations in Lebanon against the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah as a violation of the ceasefire with the U.S.<\/p>\n
The report said an Israeli ceasefire in Lebanon is a precondition for the ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. and that the ceasefire \u201chas now been violated on all fronts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on the social platform X that Lebanon is included in the ceasefire with the U.S. and that any violation on one front \u201cshall be considered a violation of it across all fronts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe United States and Israel bear responsibility for the consequences of any breach of the truce,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
Israel announced Sunday it had captured Lebanon\u2019s Beaufort Castle, a 900-year-old fortress located north of the Litani River that carries strategic military value and stands as a symbol of Israel\u2019s occupation of the south of the country between 1982 and 2000.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday ordered attacks on Hezbollah-controlled neighborhoods in southern Beirut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire over the course of the weekend. U.S. Central Command said it struck Iranian air defenses, two drones that were threatening ships and a ground control station in response to \u201caggressive Iranian actions,\u201d including the shooting down of a U.S. MQ-1 \u201cPredator\u201d drone that was operating over international water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n
Trump at 1:00 a.m. Monday posted on his social media site Truth Social that Iran \u201creally wants to make a deal,\u201d and he accused critics of the negotiations of jeopardizing an agreement.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end \u2013 It always does! President DJT,\u201d he wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pullback by Iran comes as President Trump over the weekend considered a preliminary deal to end the war that was negotiated by Washington and Tehran. Axios reported Trump on Friday added amendments to the deal and transmitted it back to Iranian negotiators.\u00a0<\/p>\n
