Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi criticized Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's statements, which included a call for aggressive military action against Hezbollah. Ben-Gvir's comments, made during a period of escalating tensions, suggested that Israel's military operations should not be restricted. He stated that the security of Israeli citizens is paramount, even at the cost of Lebanese lives. Araghchi described Ben-Gvir's remarks as indicative of Israel's focus on perpetual conflict, labeling the Israeli leadership as a 'genocidal death cult.' Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance expressed concern over the Israeli government's lack of a coherent peace proposal, emphasizing that military solutions are insufficient for national security issues. Despite the tensions, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah was reportedly reached, mediated by the U.S., Iran, and Qatar. Israeli military officials maintained that they would retain the right to act against threats in Lebanon, asserting that Hezbollah had violated the ceasefire.
