14 Developments in the US-Iran Ceasefire, Could Be Canceled Due to Israel
A ceasefire between the United States (US) and Iran was announced yesterday. However, developments from Wednesday to Thursday (9 April 2026) indicate several “concerns”. In fact, many signals suggest the ceasefire is at risk of being cancelled. This comes even as new talks are set to begin on Friday, 10 April, in Islamabad, Pakistan, the mediator for peace between the two sides.
What are the latest developments? Here is an update from CNBC Indonesia, drawn from various sources:
- Israel’s Massive Attacks on Lebanon
Israel launched bombings against Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, again on Wednesday. The Zionists targeted residential areas, according to government media reports, following other simultaneous attacks in cities across the country.
This occurred just hours after the US-Iran ceasefire announcement, which Tehran had requested to include peace in Lebanon. Nevertheless, Israel refused to comply and continued bombarding the country.
“Enemy attacks targeted the Tallet al-Khayyat neighbourhood in Beirut,” reported the government-run National News Agency, while AFP journalists heard explosions in the nearby Hamra district.
- Israeli Attacks Kill 182 People
Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that 182 people were killed and 890 injured due to Israeli attacks on Wednesday. The capital Beirut was hit by the most intense bombardment since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel’s Defence Minister stated that they had carried out attacks targeting Hezbollah members across Lebanon. Israel described it as the biggest blow to the group since the 2024 pager bomb operation.
- Hezbollah Vows Revenge
Hezbollah stated on Wednesday that they have the “right” to retaliate against the deadly wave of Israeli attacks across Lebanon. This has reignited tensions in the Middle East.
“We affirm that the blood of our martyrs and the wounded will not be shed in vain, and that today’s massacre, like all acts of aggression and barbaric crimes, affirms our natural and legal right to resist the occupation and retaliate against its aggression,” said the Iran-backed movement in a statement.
- Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Warns US Over Israeli Attacks on Lebanon
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned on Wednesday that they would respond if Israel does not halt its attacks on Lebanon following deadly strikes that killed dozens just a day after the US-Iran ceasefire agreement. The warning was directed at the United States.
“We issue a firm warning to the United States, which has violated the agreement, and to its Zionist ally, its executioner: if the aggression against beloved Lebanon does not immediately cease, we will fulfil our duty and deliver a response,” said the Revolutionary Guard in a statement broadcast on state television, using a reference to Israel.
Israel itself stated that the US-Iran ceasefire does not include Lebanon. Lebanon was drawn into the war after the Iran-backed Hezbollah group launched attacks on Israel.
- Trump Discusses Lebanon with Netanyahu
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said he would continue discussing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the idea of including Lebanon in the Iran war ceasefire agreement. This was stated by his spokesperson on Wednesday US time.
“This will continue to be discussed, I am sure, between the president and Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu, the United States and Israel and all parties involved,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
- Iran Calls US Ceasefire Talks ‘Unreasonable’ Due to Lebanon, Hormuz & Nuclear Issues
Iran’s Parliament Speaker stated on Wednesday that the ceasefire and talks with the United States are “unreasonable” due to violations of Tehran’s 10-point ceasefire plan. This is not only related to ongoing attacks in Lebanon, but also the entry of a drone into Iranian airspace and the US rejection of the country’s right to uranium enrichment.
“The deep historical distrust we have towards the United States stems from repeated violations of all forms of commitments, a pattern that unfortunately has repeated itself once again,” said Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf in a statement posted on X, mentioning three violations of Iran’s proposal.
“Now, the ‘basis for negotiation’ has been blatantly and clearly violated, even before negotiations begin. In such a situation, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations make no sense,” he said.
- Netanyahu Says Israel Ready for War Again Against Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Wednesday that Israel remains prepared to confront Iran if necessary, despite the newly announced ceasefire between the US and Iran.
“Let me be clear: We still have objectives to complete, and we will achieve them, either through agreement or through renewed battle,” Netanyahu said in a televised statement.
“We are ready to go back to war whenever necessary. Our finger remains on the trigger. This is not the end of the campaign, but a step towards achieving all our goals,” he added.
“Iran enters this pause battered, weaker than before.”
Netanyahu also responded to criticism from opposition leaders. Previously, the opposition had criticised him for agreeing to the ceasefire before Israel achieved its goals in the war.
“As you know, last night a temporary two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran came into effect, fully coordinated with Israel,” Netanyahu said in a televised statement.
“No, we were not surprised at the last moments,” he said.
In the televised statement, Netanyahu listed the war’s achievements. Netanyahu also praised the
