THE CEASEFIRE IN IRAN 'WON'T LAST' IF ISRAEL CONTINUES ATTACKS ON LEBANON – Prof. Mohammad Marandi (Rachel Blevins)

Hours after the U.S. and Iran announced a two-week ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that it “does not include Lebanon.” Israel is now launching its largest coordinated strikes across Lebanon in the five weeks since Hezbollah joined this phase of the war.

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, of the University of Tehran, noted that contrary to Netanyahu’s claims, this ceasefire is based on Iran’s 10-point plan, which includes the cessation of hostilities on ALL fronts, including in Lebanon. He emphasized that if Israel’s attacks continue, “this ceasefire will NOT last,” and Iran will not move forward with a deal to end this war.
