Iran will follow up on an attack targeting its ambassador in Lebanon, the Iranian envoy to the United Nations said in a letter, adding that it “reserves its rights under international law to take required measures deemed necessary to respond.”

Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani was among the more than 1,000 people injured when the series of Hezbollah pagers exploded across Lebanon and in Syria yesterday.

Israel, which has been blamed for the attacks, has not commented.
