The agency points out that this choice was influenced partly by the ongoing violations of the ceasefire across all fronts, including Lebanon.

Iranian authorities and negotiators highlighted the necessity for a cessation of Israeli activities in Gaza and Lebanon, alongside a full retreat of Israeli forces from Lebanon, according to the report.

Tehran does not plan to resume discussions with the US until its demands in this matter are satisfied. Additionally, Iran and the "Axis of Resistance" (comprising Hezbollah, Yemen's Houthis, and others) are ready to fully obstruct the Strait of Hormuz and to engage in other theaters, such as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, to "punish" Israel and its partners, the agency states.

Oil prices have surged significantly with reports indicating that Iran has halted talks with the US, according to CNN.
