US, Israeli assets ‘legitimate targets’ after attack on Beirut: Qalibaf

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf says the United States and the Israeli regime only understand the "language of power," as Washington continues its naval blockade on Iran while greenlighting Israeli aggression against Lebanon.

In a forceful post on his X account on Sunday, Qalibaf issued a stark warning to the US and Israel, saying their military bases and assets across the region have become legitimate targets after the Israeli regime bombed Beirut's southern suburbs.

He said the United States has not been committed to the April ceasefire agreement with Iran and is not serious about dialogue.

"They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue," Qalibaf wrote.

By enforcing a naval blockade and breaching agreements related to Lebanon, he emphasized, they have made it clear that the only language they understand is that of power.

"The naval blockade against the Iranian nation and America's green light today to the Zionist regime turn American and regime bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets," he said.

The top Iranian negotiator in talks with the US added, “The hand of our Armed Forces is open, as always."

Israel bombs Lebanese capital’s Dahiyeh despite US objections

The Israeli regime launches attacks on the southern areas of the Lebanese capital Beirut where Hezbollah is based.

Qalibaf’s post comes after at least two people were killed and 11 injured in a fresh Israeli air attack on a densely populated civilian neighborhood in the Lebanese capital Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday.

Reports said that multiple explosions rocked Dahiyeh in Beirut where the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah's headquarters are based.

They said the attack targeted a building in the Al-Mreijeh area with three missiles.
