TEHRAN – Iran has issued a strong condemnation of the latest wave of Israeli terrorism in Lebanon, stating through a statement published by its foreign ministry that the fallouts of the regime’s terror acts will hunt both Israelis and their American patrons.

In the statement, Tehran called Israel’s Friday assassination of Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah a war crime that breached Lebanon’s territorial integrity. It also put the blame directly at Washington’s feet. "The U.S. government is directly responsible and complicit in the Zionist regime’s crime as a supporter and accomplice in continuing to commit various international crimes and terrorist acts."


The statement warned of repercussions for Israel and its supporters, specifically mentioning the U.S., saying, "It is evident that the repercussions of this brutal terrorist act will be aimed at the criminal Zionist regime and its supporters, with the U.S. regime on top of them."


the statement reiterated Iran’s unwavering support for the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance movements, declaring that its "principled and strategic stance in their firm and all-out support for the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon and the entire West Asia against the invaders and aggressors will continue with full force until the termination of the occupation and the restoration of the right to self-determination and the realization of the sacred cause of the liberation of Palestine and the beloved Al-Quds."


Furthermore, Tehran asserted its commitment to holding Israel accountable for its actions, stating that it will "implement all its political, diplomatic, legal and international capacities to support the heroic people of Palestine and Lebanon in regional and international assemblies and will stand by Palestine and Lebanon to punish the aggressors."


The statement concluded with a message of condolences and support for the Lebanese Resistance movement, Hezbollah. “The Islamic Republic of Iran asserts that the glowing path of Islamic Resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, and West Asia will not be interrupted by the martyrdom of the brave and courageous leaders of the freedom of Al-Quds, from Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah to Ismail Haniyeh, and that Muslim countries and nations will continue to tread on the path of honor, resistance and struggle against the terrorist occupiers with strength and might.”
