Both Iran and US President Donald Trump strongly condemned the Israeli attack on Lebanon on Sunday. The two countries finally reached a peace agreement amid that tension.
Earlier yesterday, Iranian negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf strongly criticized the Israeli attack in a post on the social media X. Israel claimed that it targeted Iranian-backed Hezbollah fighters in the southern suburbs of Beirut. However, Ghalibaf said that the incident revealed that the United States does not have the "willingness and ability" to fulfill its promises.
In addition, the Iranian Foreign Ministry directly blamed the United States for the attack on Beirut. Iran has also warned of a "harsh response." The country's military command said its "finger is on the trigger" and is ready to fire "at the heart of the enemy."
