Summary
Iran told mediators and the U.S. it may suspend this week’s memorandum and hit Israel without warning if Trump fails to stop Israel’s escalating attacks on Lebanon.
At least 47 people were killed in more than 20 Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon on Thursday night, underscoring Tehran’s claim that Israel is not complying with the agreement’s call to end military operations.
Technical talks due Friday in Switzerland were postponed, and Vice President JD Vance canceled his trip, signaling how quickly the U.S.-Iran process is fraying over Lebanon.
Iran also warned that any U.S. intervention could push the Strait of Hormuz back into a wartime environment, while saying its military remains on full alert if the deal collapses.
The threat exposes the fragility of Trump’s new accord with Iran, which Tehran says could still unravel amid Israeli resistance, delayed implementation and deep mistrust of Trump.
