Iran condemns Israeli attacks on Lebanon, urges international action

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei Hamaneh has strongly condemned the recent Israeli attacks on areas in southern Lebanon, which have resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of Lebanese citizens and the destruction of infrastructure and homes.

In a statement, Baghaei referred to the continued occupation by the Israeli regime and its violation of Lebanon's territorial integrity and national sovereignty. He considered the silence and indifference of international institutions, especially the United Nations Security Council, as the root cause of the Zionist regime's further arrogance and the continuation of its aggression and crimes.

The spokesman also stated that the American ruling delegation is considered an accomplice and partner in all the crimes of the Zionist regime in Lebanon, the occupied Palestinian territory, and the entire region due to its comprehensive support for the occupying regime of Israel.

Baghaei praised the heroic resistance and steadfastness of the Lebanese people against the aggression and occupation of the Zionist regime, emphasizing the complete solidarity of the Islamic Republic of Iran with Lebanon in defending the sovereignty, dignity, and independence of this country against the aggression of the Zionist regime.

According to Mehr News, Israeli warplanes struck areas near the southern Lebanese town of Mansouri on Monday, in a fresh violation of the ceasefire.
