Iran suspends US ceasefire negotiations after Israel expands Lebanon offensive, calling it a violation of all fronts

Iran announced on June 1, 2026 that it was suspending all dialogue and exchange of texts with the United States through Pakistani mediators, citing Israel's expanding military offensive in Lebanon as a violation of the ceasefire on "all fronts." Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated the ceasefire "unequivocally" covered Lebanon and that violations there constituted violations of the entire agreement. Trump publicly contradicted the suspension, posting on Truth Social that talks were "continuing at a rapid pace" — while Iranian drones damaged Kuwait's main airport, killing one person.
