Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
Earlier on Saturday, Iran announced it was suspending all of its ceasefire commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States, marking a fresh escalation in tensions between the two countries.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Tehran had suspended its commitments under the MoU as US military attacks continued, according to Iran's Fars news agency.
"The US has violated and suspended all its commitments within the framework of the Islamabad MoU," Gharibabadi said.
Later, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not appeared publicly since assuming office following the death of his father, issued a fresh warning to Washington. He said the renewed US attacks despite the framework agreement proved that President Donald Trump's signature could not be trusted.
"Now that the American enemy seeks to incite war and bear its most serious consequences, it should know that the dear Iranian nation and the axis of resistance have unforgettable lessons to offer it," Khamenei said in a statement carried by state television.
He added that US violations of the agreement "once again demonstrated to everyone the worthlessness of the American president's signature."
