Iran Accuses U.S. of Violating Ceasefire Framework, Deems Further Negotiations 'Unreasonable'

Iran has accused the United States of violating three clauses of their agreed framework for a ceasefire, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stating that the U.S. must choose between a ceasefire or continued conflict via Israel, asserting it cannot have both.

Araghchi emphasized that the ceasefire terms are explicit and that the world is observing whether the U.S. will honor its commitments.

This statement follows a two-week ceasefire agreement reached less than 24 hours prior between Iran, the U.S., and Israel, which averted President Donald Trump's threat of a bombing campaign against Iran.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the ceasefire as a victory for the United States, attributing it to President Trump and the military's efforts.

Leavitt also addressed reports regarding the Strait of Hormuz, stating that there has been an increase in traffic and that the president expects the strait to be reopened immediately and safely.
