There is no room for denial and backtracking.
Ceasefire violations carry explicit costs and strong responses.
Extinguish the fire immediately.
So that is what he said.
Now, to be very clear, he is correct that
about the Prime Minister, Shabazz Sharif.
Let's put a four, please, on the screen.
This is the original announcement of the ceasefire from Shabazz Sharif of Pakistan.
With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and elsewhere, effective immediately.
This was the announcement from Pakistan, which was the interlocutor,
between the United States and Iran in these talks.
Lebanon is explicitly said there.
So when the vice president and the president and the White House all say that this was some sort of confusion, there's no confusion.
The confusion is on our end.
And it's very clear what happened is that we either didn't consult the Israelis, haphazardly agreed to it, and they're like, oh, I'm not doing
They're like, I'm not agreeing to that at all.
And again, just further confirmation on that point.
Here is the Pakistani ambassador to the United Nations explicitly saying, Lebanon is included.
Let's take a listen.
So that's where things stand as of this morning.
