Iranian Parliament Speaker: US and Israel are violating the ceasefire in Lebanon

The Speaker of the Iranian Consultative Assembly, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, attacked the conduct of the United States and Israel in Lebanon today, June 1, 2026. According to reports in various channels, including Al Jazeera and Al Mayadeen, Ghalibaf claimed that the "naval blockade and escalation of war crimes" in Lebanon are absolute proof that Washington is not committed to the ceasefire agreement.

As part of his remarks, which were also published on Quds News Network and Shehab Agency, Ghalibaf threatened that "every choice has a price, and the bill will undoubtedly be paid." On the channel South Lebanon Enemy Observer, which is affiliated with the Axis of Resistance and takes a hostile line towards Israel and the United States, Ghalibaf was quoted calling Israel "the destructive Zionist entity," and emphasizing that things will become clear at the end of the process.

The reports reflect a uniform narrative on the part of media outlets close to Iran and Hezbollah, which present Israeli military activity and American involvement as actions contrary to the ceasefire understandings. Channels such as Al-Mamlaka also reported his remarks, while emphasizing the Iranian claim regarding an "American naval blockade."

The central message emerging from the reports is the rejection of the legitimacy of military activity on Lebanese soil and its presentation as a flagrant violation of international diplomacy, while using threatening rhetoric toward the Israeli and American sides.
