00:00Iran's foreign minister is publicly pressuring the U.S. to rein in Israel.
00:05Abbas Aragchi says Washington must pressure Israel to halt attacks on southern Lebanon,
00:10pointing to a clause in the June 17 ceasefire deal requiring all military operations to end
00:15on every front, not just with Iran. This comes as Iran's top leadership held its first public
00:21trilateral meeting since the war started four months ago. The meeting signals an effort to
00:27project unity amid growing pressure from hardliners, demanding continued strikes on
00:32American interests. Analysts say Iran is treating its control over the Strait of Hormuz as a golden
00:39card in negotiations. Iran is refusing to fully restore pre-war shipping conditions even as
00:45diplomatic talks continue, with Iran holding leverage and hardliners pushing for escalation.
00:51The path back to a stable ceasefire remains anything but guaranteed.
