Iran Warns of Harsh Response if Israeli Violations in Lebanon Continue

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters says Israeli forces violated the Lebanon ceasefire 84 times in two days and warns continued attacks could trigger a military response.

Iran, PUREWILAYAH.COM – Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters has warned that the Israeli occupation could face a severe response from Iran’s armed forces if it continues its attacks on southern Lebanon, citing repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement reached as part of the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the headquarters said Israeli forces had violated the ceasefire 84 times over the past two days despite US President Donald Trump’s announcement of an end to the war.

“If the Zionist entity’s army does not cease its aggression in south Lebanon, it should expect a harsh response from Iran’s mighty armed forces,” the statement said.

The command accused Israel of continuing to commit crimes against Lebanese civilians while ignoring the obligations outlined in the agreement.

Four Martyred in Israeli Attacks on South Lebanon

The warning came after a series of Israeli attacks on the southern Lebanese town of Mayfadoun and the nearby town of Shoukin.

According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in South Lebanon, four people were martyred and several others wounded when Israeli forces carried out multiple strikes targeting civilian vehicles and areas where residents had gathered.

The attacks reportedly began with a strike on a vehicle in Mayfadoun. A second strike then targeted the same location after residents gathered at the scene. Israeli forces later bombed another vehicle in Mayfadoun and a third vehicle in nearby Shoukin.

The attacks marked one of the deadliest Israeli escalations in southern Lebanon since the announcement of the ceasefire.

Lebanon Included in Iran-US Agreement

Iranian officials have repeatedly stressed that Lebanon is explicitly covered by the Memorandum of Understanding reached between Tehran and Washington.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said the agreement contains a clear provision requiring an end to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. He warned that continued Israeli violations could activate mechanisms outlined in the agreement.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi similarly emphasized that ending the war on Lebanon is inseparable from any comprehensive cessation of hostilities and said the continued occupation of Lebanese territory constitutes a violation of the memorandum.

Berri and Ghalibaf Urge Action Against Israeli Violations

Amid the continued attacks, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf held talks and called on guarantor states to fulfill their responsibilities under the agreement.

The two officials urged international guarantors, particularly the United States, to compel Israel to withdraw from all occupied Lebanese territories and halt the destruction of Lebanese towns and villages.

They also stressed the need to respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and ensure full Israeli compliance with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding.

The latest warning from Tehran signals growing pressure on guarantor states to enforce the agreement as Israeli attacks continue despite commitments to halt military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon. (PW)
