Iran Warns Israeli Attacks on Lebanon Could Destroy Ceasefire Deal and Diplomacy with U.S.

HeadlineApr 10, 2026

Iranian officials have warned the United States not to allow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to derail the two-week regional ceasefire by continuing attacks on Lebanon. On Thursday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on social media, “If the U.S. wishes to crater its economy by letting Netanyahu kill diplomacy, that would ultimately be its choice. We think that would be dumb but are prepared for it.” Araghchi’s language mirrors language used by Vice President JD Vance warning Iran not to let the ceasefire fall apart over Lebanon. Vance is heading to Pakistan today for high-level talks with Iran in Islamabad; he’ll join U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who previously held negotiations with Iran that were derailed, twice, when the U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran.
