Tehran: Iran's Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf issued a sharp warning to Israel on Sunday, declaring that the sacrifices of Lebanese fighters and Iran's powerful diplomacy will ensure Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Ghalibaf emphasized in a message on his personal X account that Israel will never be able to isolate or single out any part of the resistance's pillars. He stated, "The struggles of Lebanon's fighters and the powerful diplomacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran will guarantee the sovereignty and territorial integrity of dear Lebanon." He further asserted that these efforts will put an end to the Israeli regime's "madness and warmongering."
The comments from Ghalibaf followed an Israeli airstrike on Beirut's southern suburb of Dahiyeh, which resulted in the deaths of at least three people and injuries to six others, as reported by Lebanese civil defense officials. Iran has stressed that achieving a ceasefire in Lebanon is crucial for any potential agreement with the United States to bring an end to the ongoing conflict.
