A senior Iranian parliament member promises a “painful and decisive response” to Israel’s airstrikes on Beirut’s Dahiyeh southern suburb, a Hezbollah stronghold, today.

“We will give a decisive and painful response to the Zionist regime’s attack on the suburbs. This rabid dog must be disciplined and put in its place. Watch the sky of the occupied territories tonight,” Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for parliament’s foreign policy and national security committee, writes on X.

Iran seeks to destroy Israel and considers all of Israel “occupied territories.”

Iran’s foreign minister last week threatened that any Israeli attack on Beirut would be a violation of the ceasefire with the US and elicit a response from Iran.
