Iranian envoy shares recovery journey after Israeli pager attack in Lebanon
TEHRAN – Mojtaba Amani, the Ambassador of Iran in Beirut, has shared an update on his recovery following injuries sustained during twin Israeli attacks that caused thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies to explode in Lebanon.
In a heartfelt message shared on his official account on X, Amani expressed gratitude for the medical care he received and reflected on the honor he feels in standing alongside the Lebanese people during such challenging times.
Amani stated, "As you are aware, I was injured in the recent explosions in Lebanon, just like many others among the people of Lebanon. Thanks to the initial and important actions of Lebanese doctors and then the valuable efforts of Iranian doctors, my treatment is progressing well."
He characterized his injury as an honor, emphasizing his solidarity with the people of Lebanon amid what he termed a "war crime."
In his message, Amani extended his heartfelt thanks to officials and citizens alike for their concern and support. "I am very grateful to all the officials, my dear compatriots, and Lebanese friends who were concerned about my well-being, offered their prayers, and expressed their kindness," he wrote.
The ambassador also acknowledged the swift response from Iranian authorities, thanking the President, ministers, and officials for their assistance in ensuring timely medical care. He commended both Lebanese and Iranian medical staff for their dedication in treating him and other injured individuals.
Explosions targeted pagers and other communication devices across Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday, killing more than 30 people, including children, and wounding some 3,500 others. The Lebanese government and the Hezbollah Resistance movement have both identified Israel as the orchestrator of the deadly attacks.
The latest series of Israeli crimes has put the entire region on edge, as analysts and officials warn of the devastating effects of the regime’s terrorist policies, alarming that they could eventually lead to an all-out war in West Asia.
