Iran’s top security official warns response ‘imminent’ after Israeli strike on Beirut
Iran's top security official has warned that a response was “imminent” following an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs.
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohammad Bagher Zolqadr said on Sunday that Lebanon and its resistance are the "very life" of Iran, adding that the Islamic Republic will consider attacks on Lebanon as a violation of its red lines.
“The unity of the fronts has created a security chain in defense of the region. The response of the warriors of Islam is imminent,” said Zolqadr in a Farsi-language post on social media that was accompanied by the hashtag “ #The_Promise_Shall_Be_Kept ”.
The warning came hours after Israeli forces bombed Beirut's southern suburbs, killing at least three people, including a senior Hezbollah commander.
It also follows Iranian missile strikes on areas in the Israeli-occupied territories in response to the Israeli regime’s attacks on the headquarters of the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah in the capital, Beirut.

Iran has warned since the announcement of a ceasefire in early April halting the US-Israeli aggression on its territory that it would consider attacks on allied resistance forces in the region, including in Lebanon, as a violation of the truce.
The recent Iranian attacks caused the Israeli regime to stop its operations in Beirut under apparent pressure from the US, which is seeking to reach a deal with Iran aimed at permanently ending the aggression on the country.
However, Israel has continued to target border areas in Lebanon over the past days, causing more deaths and displacement in the Arab country.
Iran has warned it would repeat its attacks on Israel regardless of efforts to reach a deal with the US, which many believe is imminent.
