Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the U.S. was harming the diplomatic process with 'contradictory messages, frequent changes in positions and demands, and frequent violations of the ceasefire', that Israel was doing the same in Lebanon, and that 'following overnight events, we need to reassess'.
