Iran condemns pager blasts in Lebanon
"Today's terrorist operation in Lebanon was carried out as a continuation of the Zionist regime's combined operations and their mercenary agents. It contravenes all moral and human principles, international law, especially international humanitarian law, and warrants international criminal prosecution, trial, and punishment,” the spokesman said.
"This combined terrorist act, which is, in fact, a form of mass killing, once again clearly proves that the Zionist regime, in addition to committing war crimes and genocide against the Palestinian people, has placed regional and international peace and security in serious jeopardy. Accordingly, confronting the regime's terrorist actions and the threats arising from it is an evident necessity, and the international community must act promptly to combat the impunity of the Zionist criminal officials," he added, the Foreign Ministry’s website reported.
Expressing sympathy and solidarity with the government, people, and resistance of Lebanon and the families of the martyrs and those wounded in the terrorist operation, Kanaani prayed for the swift recovery of all the injured in this incident, including Iran's ambassador in Lebanon.
He emphasized that Iran is ready to provide any necessary assistance to the government and people of Lebanon.
