<p>Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that no
attacks have been carried out against Gulf states in the past few hours,
adding that if reports of such incidents are confirmed, then \u201cIsrael\u201d
would be responsible.</p>
<p>The IRGC stressed that Iran\u2019s armed forces take responsibility for
every operation they conduct \u201ctransparently and courageously,\u201d and have
no connection to what has been circulated in the media in recent hours.</p>
<p>For its part, the IRGC Navy stated that both allies and adversaries recognize that the management of the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iran-s-parliament-set-to-enshrine-new-hormuz-strategy-in-law">Strait of Hormuz has entered a new phase</a> over the past two days.</p>
<p>The denial comes after Kuwait\u2019s Ministry of Defense reported that it
was responding to drone attacks that violated its airspace and targeted
several vital facilities late Thursday night.</p>
<p>Iran reaffirmed its commitment to the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iran--us-receive-pakistan-mediated-plan-for-ceasefire-then-f">ceasefire agreement brokered by Pakistan since April 8</a>,
saying it continues to give diplomacy a chance despite what it
described as US\u2013Israeli violations of the agreement and ongoing attacks
against Lebanon. It also stated that the cessation of attacks on Lebanon
remains a condition for its participation in talks in Islamabad.</p>
<p>Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian officials stressed the need
to develop its management framework in light of recent developments.</p>
<h2>Iran denies Islamabad talks amid ongoing war on Lebanon: Exclusive</h2>
<p>On a related note, Iranian sources told <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>
that reports of a negotiating delegation arriving in Islamabad are
false, stressing that no talks will take place as long as the war on
Lebanon continues, while warning of a potential collapse in ceasefire
efforts.</p>
<p>The sources further warned that the United States has only a limited window to restrain "Israel", otherwise, <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-only-fire-will-discipline-you---iran-warns-after-ceasefire?__cf_chl_rt_tk=gzUrdzxTX1RdpyvpfmHFj4wfFTQHlblrsoV.zlT9piQ-1775778230-1.0.1.1-l6WsirpKeNZfg.DlZXWjToxCNHvXSQfNmyDuIEwsPeM">ongoing ceasefire efforts will collapse</a>.</p>
<p>According to the same sources, Iran insists that any ceasefire
agreement brokered through Pakistani mediation must explicitly include
Lebanon, with full commitment from both the United States and "Israel".</p>
<p>In this context, <em>Fars News Agency </em>quoted an informed source as saying that <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/russia-says-us-iran-ceasefire-must-include-lebanon--condemns">a ceasefire in Lebanon is an \u201cinevitable and unchangeable\u201d</a> precondition for Tehran to enter any new negotiation process.</p></div></div></div>
