Israeli envoy rejects Iran’s ceasefire violation claims

“Trusting the death-cult regime in Tehran as a source on violations of international agreements is quite literally leaving the fox to guard the henhouse,” Leiter wrote.

The Israeli diplomat also criticized Iran’s warning that continued Israeli military operations could provoke a “harsh response” from its armed forces.

“What ‘violations’ did the people of Iran commit to deserve the ‘harsh response’ of the Ayatollahs, that took so many of their lives?” he added.
