Iran Guards threaten response if Israel does not cease Lebanon ‘aggression’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s Revolutionary Guards warn that they will respond if Israel does not cease attacks on Lebanon as deadly strikes killed dozens of people, a day after a ceasefire was agreed between the United States and Iran.
“We issue a firm warning to the United States, which violates treaties, and to its Zionist ally, its executioner: if the aggression against beloved Lebanon does not cease immediately, we will fulfill our duty and deliver a response,” the Guards say in a statement carried on state TV, using a reference to Israel.
Israel says the US-Iran truce does not include Lebanon, which was drawn into the war after Iran-backed group Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel.
