Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have warned they will deliver a “regret-inducing response” if attacks on Lebanon continue,
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said strikes must stop “immediately”, in a message reported by state broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.
“If the aggressions against dear Lebanon are not brought to an immediate end we shall fulfil our duty and deliver a regret-inducing response to the malicious aggressors in the region,” the statement said.
State-run Islamic Republic News Agency also quoted an IRGC official as saying: “Any attack on the proud Hezbollah is an attack on Iran.”
Hundreds were killed and injured in the strikes, according to Lebanon’s Civil Defence. Plumes of black smoke filled the skies of Beirut Wednesday as residents combed through rubble.
The Israeli military told The Independent that it had completed the “largest strike” on the country since the start of the conflict.
While Iran and Pakistan, which has acted as a mediator in the conflict, believe the two-week ceasefire applies to Lebanon, the US and Israel have said the contrary.
