Daily brief
Israel's military strikes in Lebanon, which are not covered by the ceasefire with Iran, have drawn condemnation from Turkey, Greece, and Italy after a UN peacekeeping vehicle was hit. Iran has threatened to pull out of its ceasefire with the United States if the operations continue, while U.S. Vice President Vance said Israel expressed willingness to show more restraint.
Iran warned the United States it must choose between a ceasefire in Lebanon or continuing the war through Israel, as Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said the US 'cannot have both'.
Israeli opposition leaders, including Yair Lapid, called the ceasefire with Iran a 'political disaster' and 'strategic failure', criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu over the deal.
Netanyahu stated Israel has more goals to complete and is ready to resume fighting at any time, saying 'the finger is on the trigger'.
Pakistan took on a peacemaker role, with Iran's foreign minister discussing Israeli ceasefire violations with Pakistan's army chief.
