Iran warns Israel of 'forceful military response' over Lebanon attacks

Iran's armed forces issued a stern warning to Israel, threatening a "forceful military response" if attacks in southern Lebanon continue. The Iranian military's central command cited 84 alleged ceasefire violations within the past 48 hours. They stated that Israeli military operations in Lebanese territory contradict de-escalation commitments, particularly those related to a potential peace agreement with the United States.

These actions, according to Iran, have resulted in new casualties in Lebanon. The warning comes amid continued violence in the region. On Tuesday, Israeli drone strikes targeted the towns of Mifdoun and Choukin in Nabatieh, killing at least four people and injuring several others. The attacks struck three vehicles, prompting a response from local civil defense and medical teams.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that Israeli offensives since March 2 have caused 3,826 deaths and 11,851 injuries. Iran's statement emphasizes that a cessation of Israeli operations on regional fronts, especially in Lebanon, is a key objective of an understanding they expect to sign with the U.S. this Friday in Switzerland.
