Iran condemns Israeli Beirut strike as ‘terrorist crime’
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel’s strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs as a "terrorist crime", saying the attack violated Lebanon’s sovereignty and breached the ceasefire agreement.
The ministry said the strike amounted to a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire and accused Israel of driving further escalation in the region.
Tehran also said it holds the United States directly responsible for Israel’s actions, warning that Washington and Israel would bear responsibility for any dangerous consequences.
Iran added that it remains determined to use "all necessary means" to exercise its inherent right to self-defence.
