Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his country planned to keep fighting the Iranian regime and its proxies as Washington and Tehran entered their first day of peace talks in Pakistan.
“Israel under my leadership will continue to fight Iran’s terror regime and its proxies,” Netanyahu wrote in an X post on Saturday.
The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran hit a hurdle this week after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued bombing Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon. The IDF has struck over 200 targets in the past 24 hours, it stated on X.
Iran’s state-run news agency IRNA said one of Tehran’s preconditions in peace talks with Washington was to lower the amount of Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Washington did not immediately share a comment on the preconditions.
The United States and Israel previously said that the Israeli military operations in Lebanon were separate from the current ceasefire in Iran.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
