Iran has condemned the Israeli strikes on Beirut, calling them a “blatant violation”; of the ceasefire.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei made this known in a statement on Saturday.
“The excuses made by the Zionist regime for justifying the aggression against Lebanon are totally baseless and unjustifiable,”; Baqaei said.
He also called on the international community to “make decisive plans to counter the occupying regime’s constant law-breaking in the region—from Gaza to Lebanon and Syria—and the regime’s growing threats against international peace and security.”;
The Israeli military carried out several airstrikes on southern Beirut on Friday after a rocket attack was launched at Israel from southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah has denied involvement in the incident and has not responded to the Israeli assaults.
