DUBAI: Diplomatic efforts with the United States cannot advance under repeated ceasefire violations, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Wednesday, following overnight clashes in the Gulf between Tehran and Washington.

Baghaei accused Washington of undermining diplomacy through contradictory messages, shifting positions and repeated ceasefire violations, and said Israel was also damaging the process through repeated ceasefire breaches in Lebanon.

"Following overnight events, we need to re-assess (the diplomatic path with Washington) ... any diplomatic process requires a minimum stable environment," he said.
