Shafaq News- Tehran
Iran's negotiating team will suspend indirectmessage exchanges with the United States through intermediaries, Tasnim NewsAgency reported Monday, a decision Tehran linked directly to Israeli strikes onLebanon.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu andDefense Minister Israel Katz authorized expanded strikes on Beirut's southernsuburbs Monday, the first such directive since a ceasefire agreement betweenIsrael and Lebanon was reached in April. The strikes also intensified throughoutthe day in southern Lebanon, with Hezbollah also continuing to target Israelitroops and military bases in parallel.
Citing sources close to the negotiations, Tasnimsaid that Iranian negotiators have conditioned any resumption of talks on animmediate halt to Israeli military operations in both Gaza and Lebanon.
Iran and the Resistance Axis —the network ofarmed factions backed by Tehran across the Middle East— have also, according tothe sources, placed the activation of new fronts on their operational agenda,including the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the narrow waterway linking the Red Sea tothe Gulf of Aden. “Any such move would run through Yemen's Ansarallah Movement(Houthis), which Iran backs and has already shown it can impose severe pressureon international shipping without physically closing the strait.
The Houthis drone and missile campaign, launchedin declared solidarity with Gaza, has forced more than 60 percent of containershipping to reroute around Africa's Cape of Good Hope, adding 10 to 15 days totransit times and driving up freight and insurance costs globally.
Beirut-based Al-Akhbar newspaper reported,citing sources close to Ansarallah, that political, military, and operationalcoordination between the movement, Hezbollah, and all Resistance Axis factionsremains fully active. The sources said any further Israeli escalation will drawa unified response, and that Sanaa will not allow Lebanon to be targeted whilethe broader axis stands aside.
Mass rallies in Yemen attended by hundreds ofthousands, the sources added, reflect broad public readiness to fight alongsideLebanese resistance fighters.
