Iran warns all Israeli embassies ‘legitimate targets’ if Lebanon embassy attacked

Iran has warned that all Israeli embassies worldwide will be legitimate targets if its diplomatic mission or representatives in Lebanon are hit by the regime.

The warning, issued by General Abolfazl Shekarchi, spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces, follows an ultimatum from the Israeli war machine demanding that Iranian representatives leave Lebanon immediately within 24 hours.

In a statement, General Shekarchi addressed recent Israeli threats against the Iranian embassy in Lebanon. "Until now, out of respect for the countries of the world, despite our capabilities, we have not taken action against Israeli embassies around the world," General Shekarchi stated.

However, he warned that any strike on Iranian diplomatic soil would result in a total shift in that policy.
"Should Israel commit such a crime, we will be forced to treat everyone of their embassies across the globe as a legitimate target.

This will certainly be carried out, as Iran is determined to bring Israel and the United States to their knees."

Iran slams Israeli attacks on Lebanon, warn UNSC’s inaction to embolden occupying regime

Iran warns that the UN Security Council’s inaction on the Israeli regime’s crimes will discredit the world body.

The threats came against the backdrop of U.S.-Israeli aggression against Iran, which began on Saturday with airstrikes assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. The following strikes have killed over 1,000 people and damaged civilian infrastructure.

In the meantime, Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon have intensified, killing at least 50 people and injuring 350 in the last 48 hours alone.

The Lebanese group Hezbollah has launched waves of attacks on Israeli military sites, citing both the defense of Lebanon and the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei.

Iran has launched massive waves of drone and missile attacks at the Israeli-occupied territories and US assets across West Asia.
