Iran’s FM discusses Israel’s ceasefire violations with Pakistan’s army chief

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi (R) and Pakistani army’s chief General Asim Munir

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has discussed Israel’s “violations of the ceasefire in Iran and Lebanon” with the Pakistani army’s chief.

In a phone call with General Asim Munir, Araghchi expressed appreciation for Pakistan’s “continuous and effective efforts to end the war and strengthen peace and security in the region”.

The two sides also discussed the violations of the Pakistan-mediated ceasefire in Iran and Lebanon committed by the Israeli regime.

Referring to the recent phone call between Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Araghchi and Munir emphasized the importance of continuing coordination and following up on the areas agreed during that conversation.

Earlier on Wednesday, Iran declared a “historic victory” following the war of aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime that lasted 40 days, announcing that Washington had been forced to accept a 10-point Iranian proposal.

One of the points in the proposal called for the immediate cessation of US-Israeli hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

However, hours after the ceasefire was announced, the Israeli regime launched deadly attacks on Lebanon, including the capital, Beirut, killing hundreds of civilians.

It was described as the heaviest Israeli bombardment against Lebanon since the regime started fresh aggression on the Arab country in early March, concurrent with the war of aggression against Iran.

The regime also struck several locations in Iran, including an oil refinery located on Iran’s Lavan Island.

Speaking exclusively to Press TV on Wednesday, a senior Iranian security official warned that Iran could rise up in full-scale defense at any moment as the Israeli regime is resorting to violation of the fragile and temporary ceasefire.

The official said the entire world is currently witnessing the regime destabilize the already tenuous truce reached earlier in the day.

According to the official, the regime is raising the cost of the agreement for the United States by breaching the ceasefire while simultaneously carrying out aggression against Lebanon and attacking Iran.

The highly placed official called on mediating countries to intervene immediately, stating that the time has come to "put this aggressor regime in its place."

He further warned that if the ceasefire collapses, the Zionist regime will be held solely responsible, vowing that Iran "will punish the aggressor."
