TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s highest national security body warns that a response was “imminent,” following an Israeli strike targeting Tehran’s ally Hezbollah in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

“The response of the fighters of Islam is imminent,” the Supreme National Security Council says in a statement on X. “Lebanon is our life and violation of the red lines of the Islamic Republic will not be tolerated.”
