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.
