Ceasefire very likely to end if Israeli attacks on Lebanon persist, Iranian TV says

DUBAI, June 1 (Reuters) - A ceasefire agreed between Iran and the United States in early April is very likely to end if Israeli attacks on Tehran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon persist, Iranian state TV said on Monday, without providing further details.

Earlier, the Iranian state news agency Tasnim said Tehran was halting indirect negotiations with the U.S. after Israel ordered its troops to ‌push deeper into Lebanon, complicating diplomatic efforts to end three months of war.

There was no immediate confirmation of the reports from Iranian officials, while U.S. President Donald Trump told an NBC reporter that ‌he had not heard from Iran on any suspension of talks. Trump also said too much was said publicly, adding: "I think going silent would be very good".

In its report, Tasnim said Iran's negotiating team was stopping exchanging messages with Washington through mediators over attacks on Lebanon, where ​the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran has reignited Israel's conflict with Hezbollah.
