Iran condemns ‘brutal and vicious’ Beirut strike, claims it violated Lebanon’s sovereignty
Iran’s foreign ministry on Friday condemned an Israeli airstrike on south Beirut that killed a top Hezbollah commander along with several senior leaders of the terror group’s elite Radwan forces.
“The brutal and vicious airstrike of the Zionist regime on Beirut… is a gross violation of international law and regulations, as well as the violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security,” foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani says in a statement.
