Tehran, Iran – Web Desk: Iran’s central military command, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, has issued a stark warning that Israel may face a severe and “harsh response” if it continues its military operations in southern Lebanon .
In a statement carried by Iranian media, the military command accused Israeli forces of violating the ceasefire in Lebanon on 84 separate occasions over the past two days, resulting in civilian casualties and escalating regional tensions .
The warning comes despite a recently finalized memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States, which was intended to bring an end to hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon .
The Iranian military statement emphasized that claims of a ceasefire and reduced tensions at the global level do not reflect the reality on the ground, and that Israeli military operations are still ongoing .
“If the child-killing army of the Zionist regime does not put an end to its acts of aggression in southern Lebanon, it should await a harsh response from the powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the statement read .
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has consistently maintained that the conflict cannot be considered fully resolved while Israeli forces remain in Lebanese territory .
Meanwhile, Israeli officials have indicated that military operations in Lebanon will continue as long as they consider threats from Hezbollah to persist . The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had conducted multiple airstrikes against Hezbollah targets, destroying more than 70 sites in the previous 24 hours .
