Iran has warned that the Israeli regime’s aggression against Lebanon poses a serious threat to international peace and security, urging the international community to act decisively.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei strongly condemned Israel’s strikes across various parts of Lebanon, which have claimed the lives of dozens of Lebanese civilians recently.

Baghaei linked the Israeli regime’s aggression against Lebanon and Syria to Tel-Aviv's recently intensified genocidal campaign in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, describing the combined offensives as a grave escalation that threatens regional and global stability.

Referring to repeated ceasefire violations by Israeli forces over the past two months, Baghaei said that the latest wave of attacks—particularly over the past few days—underscores Tel Aviv’s “lawlessness” and its disregard for international law and humanitarian norms.

He emphasized the urgent responsibility of the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council, to intervene and halt Israel’s ongoing aggression.

Hezbollah denies rocket strikes against occupied Palestinian territories

Hezbollah has denied firing rockets from southern Lebanon and into the occupied Palestinian territories and reiterated its commitment to the ceasefire agreement.

Baghaei also expressed condolences to the families of the Lebanese victims and conveyed solidarity with the people and government of Lebanon, wishing a speedy recovery for the wounded.

Israeli attacks resumed Saturday morning after three rockets were allegedly fired from southern Lebanon into the occupied territories.

On Saturday, Israeli airstrikes killed at least seven people and injured 40 more across Lebanon.

Later that day, Israeli warplanes struck a parking area in Tyre’s al-Raml neighborhood, injuring four civilians.
