[Qalibaf: U.S. Violations of Ceasefire Agreement and Blockade Are the Root Causes of Tensions] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on June 9, Iranian Parliament Speaker Qalibaf stated: The root cause of the current tensions lies in the U.S. openly violating the ceasefire agreement—both by imposing a maritime blockade on the Iranian people and by breaching the arrangements related to the Lebanon ceasefire agreement. The U.S. President's remarks regarding the memorandum of understanding contradict parts of the agreement that had already been settled, indicating that they have neither the intention to maintain the ceasefire nor to engage in dialogue. To defend the rights of the Iranian nation, we must respond decisively. Our armed forces have fulfilled their duties in a firm and powerful manner.
