Iran claims ultimatum forced Israel to halt fire
An Iranian political analyst, Seyed Mohammad Marandi, has provided a detailed account of an alleged Iranian ultimatum that forced the recent Lebanon-Israel ceasefire. Marandi claims that after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not adhere to a ceasefire agreement, Iran informed the United States that it would attack Israel if a ceasefire in Lebanon was not announced immediately. He states this direct threat increased pressure and directly led to the announcement of the current truce. This narrative aligns with previous claims from Iranian officials crediting Iran's decisive stance for halting Israeli attacks.
Analyst Seyed Mohammad Marandi provides a more detailed timeline, alleging the ultimatum came after Netanyahu failed to adhere to an agreement and was delivered directly to the US.
