‘Following the repeated violations of the ceasefire and the aggressive actions of the Zionist regime against Lebanon and the Islamic Republic of Iran, including through complicity with the terrorist army of the United States in the attacks of the past two weeks on Iranian ships and targets in the southern regions of the country, as well as complicity with the American regime in maritime piracy against the Iranian nation, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran struck several military targets in the north of the occupied Palestinian territories on the evening of Sunday, June 7th 2026, within the framework of the inherent right of self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, emphasizing the Iranian nation’s strong determination to decisively defend its security and national interests at any point it deems appropriate, recalls that the ceasefire in Lebanon was an integral part of the ceasefire agreement dated April 8th, 2026, and that the U.S. government bears direct responsibility for the violations of this ceasefire by the Zionist regime and the consequences thereof, as well as any increase in tension in the region.

The Islamic Republic of Iran warns that any evil adventure by the Zionist regime against Lebanon or the Islamic Republic of Iran will be met with a crushing and comprehensive response from the zealous Iranian armed forces.’
