Summary
- Iran's foreign minister said the ceasefire agreement with the US applies to all fronts, including Lebanon.

- Markets remain wary that any renewed escalation in the Middle East could weigh on energy prices and risk-asset sentiment.
Iran's foreign minister said a ceasefire agreement with the US applies across all fronts, including Lebanon, and that a violation in any one theater should be treated as a breach of the entire truce.
BlockBeats, a media outlet focused on digital assets, reported on June 1 that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the US clearly applies to all fronts, including Lebanon.
"Any violation on one front is equivalent to a violation of the ceasefire agreement on all fronts," Araghchi said. He added that the US and Israel must be held responsible for the consequences of any violations.
The remarks come amid continuing disputes over implementation of the ceasefire between Washington and Tehran. Iran had previously pointed to US military action against Iran and Israeli strikes in Lebanon as examples of ceasefire violations.
Markets remain wary that any renewed escalation in the Middle East could pressure energy prices and damp risk appetite.
