Israel Strikes Hezbollah Rocket Sites in Lebanon

Iran warned that Israeli strikes in Lebanon could endanger an indirect US-brokered ceasefire agreement. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the agreement covers all fronts and that a violation in one area breaks the truce everywhere.

According to Iranian state media, Tehran could suspend indirect talks with Washington if the offensive continues. Iran's Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said Iran and its allies might activate other fronts including the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

State television in Iran said the probability of the US ceasefire ending is high unless Israel stops its operations in Lebanon.

The warnings follow Israeli military action against Hezbollah targets. Hezbollah has signaled openness to a ceasefire while Iran separately warned northern Israel residents to evacuate ahead of further strikes.

Tensions also rose in the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend. Brent crude rose almost $5 a barrel to $97.44 on Monday. The three-month war has affected shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which normally carries about one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies.

"The agreement with the US was unequivocally a ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon," Araghchi said via Reuters. US officials have pressed Israel to limit strikes in Beirut to protect broader talks. On Sunday a US official said Secretary of State Marco Rubio proposed a plan for gradual de-escalation to Israeli and Lebanese leaders.
