00:06A fragile peace, a renewed exchange of fire, and fresh questions over whether diplomacy
00:13between Washington and Tehran is already beginning to unravel.
00:19Iran has sharply condemned new U.S. military strikes carried out by CENTCOM, accusing Washington
00:26of violating the ceasefire it had agreed to only weeks ago under the Swiss peace framework.
00:33The latest confrontation has reignited fears that the region could once again be pushed
00:38toward a broader conflict.
00:40Tehran's response came after U.S. Central Command confirmed that American forces launched strikes
00:47against Iranian missile and drone storage facilities, along with coastal radar installations in western
00:54Iran.
00:54CENTCOM described the strikes as a powerful response, aimed at protecting international
01:01shipping and deterring future attacks.
01:04Iran, however, rejected Washington's justification.
01:09Senior Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Azizi accused the United States of once again attacking Iran
01:16in the middle of ongoing negotiations.
01:19He declared that America had demonstrated it had no commitment to the principles of negotiations.
01:24And ceasefire warning that the alleged violation would ultimately lead to American retreat
01:32and regret.
01:33Iranian state media described the U.S. strikes as an act of aggression, while claiming the
01:39attacks caused only limited damage and resulted in no immediate casualties.
01:45Tehran also vowed what it called a decisive response if similar attacks continue.
01:51Iran's foreign ministry has gone a step further by demanding an emergency meeting of the United
01:57Nations Security Council, accusing Washington of deliberately escalating tensions at a time when
02:06the United States and Iran signed a Swiss-brokered framework agreement designed to halt months of direct hostilities.
02:18That agreement outlined a roadmap to de-escalation, limited sanctions relief, future nuclear negotiations, and a proposed multi-billion dollar
02:29reconstruction initiative supported by regional partners.
02:32But implementation has remained fragile from the beginning.
02:37Both Washington and Iran have repeatedly accused each other of violating key provisions of the agreement.
02:44While the United States argues that Iran endangered international shipping by targeting a commercial vessel, Iran insists the
02:52American retaliation itself represents a breach of the ceasefire.
02:58Analysts warn that repeated military exchanges risk undermining confidence in the diplomatic process before negotiations on the broader nuclear agreement
03:08can even begin.
03:10Regional mediators continue urging restraint, hoping both sides can prevent another cycle of escalation.
03:18For now, the Swiss agreement remains technically alive.
03:21But every new strike and every accusation makes the path back to diplomacy increasingly uncertain.
03:29The coming days may determine whether the ceasefire survives or whether the region slides back toward open confrontation.
