Iran’s Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has accused the United States of violating multiple clauses of the recently agreed ceasefire framework, warning that both the truce and upcoming negotiations could become meaningless.
In a statement posted on social media, Qalibaf said three key clauses of Iran’s 10-point proposal had been violated even before formal negotiations started. He stressed that such a situation is “not appropriate” for a ceasefire or diplomatic talks, adding that the agreed framework has already been undermined.
“The deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of commitments,” Qalibaf said, calling the latest developments part of a recurring pattern.

Qalibaf outlined three specific breaches of the agreement.
First, he pointed to the failure to enforce a ceasefire in Lebanon, a clause he said had been clearly emphasized, including by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as part of an “immediate ceasefire everywhere.”
Second, he cited the entry of a hostile drone into Iranian airspace over Fars province, which he said was shot down in the city of Lar, describing it as a direct violation of Iran’s sovereignty.
Third, Qalibaf said Iran’s right to uranium enrichment -- explicitly included in the sixth clause of the proposal -- had been denied, calling it another breach of the agreement.
Framework for negotiations ‘damaged’
According to Qalibaf, these violations have effectively damaged the basic framework agreed upon before talks.
He said even the first clause related to the ceasefire is not being implemented, raising serious concerns over the viability of negotiations.
“Under such circumstances, neither a bilateral ceasefire nor negotiations have any meaning,” he stated.
Qalibaf’s remarks come shortly after US President Donald Trump described Iran’s 10-point proposal as a “workable basis” for negotiations. Trump had agreed to halt attacks for two weeks in exchange for Iran allowing safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz during that period.
‘Ceasefires are always messy’
US Vice President JD Vance responded to the allegations while speaking in Hungary, downplaying concerns over the reported drone incursion.
“Ceasefires are always messy,” Vance said, reiterating that the US position remains firm that Iran cannot enrich uranium. He also clarified that the ceasefire does not extend to Lebanon, contradicting claims from Iran and earlier statements by Pakistan.
Rising tensions threaten fragile truce
Vance warned that if Iran chooses to let negotiations collapse over Lebanon -- “which has nothing to do with them” -- it would be Tehran’s decision. The sharp exchange highlights growing tensions just as both sides prepare for high-stakes talks following the temporary ceasefire.
With trust already fragile, the latest accusations risk complicating efforts to move toward a lasting agreement.
