Iran has suspended indirect communications with the United States through mediators, insisting that no diplomatic engagement can continue while Israeli military operations persist in Lebanon and Gaza. According to Iranian media reports, Tehran views the ongoing offensives as violations of broader ceasefire understandings and has halted exchanges of messages and documents with Washington. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any breach in Lebanon undermines the entire ceasefire framework and could trigger wider consequences. The development comes as Israel expands military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and continues actions in Gaza. The diplomatic setback raises fresh concerns over regional stability, maritime security and the future of Iran-US engagement. (PC: Reuters)
