Iran says it will not leave any of Israel’s ‘criminal acts’ unanswered
Iran will not leave any of “the criminal acts” of Israel unanswered, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani says in a weekly news conference, referring to the killing of Hezbollah’s chief and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps deputy commander in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut on Friday.
Abbas Nilforoushan, a top commander of the Quds Force, the IRGC’s foreign operations arm, was killed alongside Hezbollah terror leader Hasan Nasrallah.
Iranian officials have strongly condemned the killing of Nilforoushan, as well as Nasrallah, whose powerful Lebanese terror group has been armed and financed by the Islamic Republic for decades.
