Iran has issued a stern warning, vowing a "firm and harsh" response to Israel following an Israeli airstrike on the Dahye suburb of Beirut, Lebanon. Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Parliament's National Security Commission, declared that Israel should "be attentive to the sky over the occupied territories tonight."

We will respond firmly and harshly to the attack by the Zionist regime against Dahye.

— Ebrahim RezaeiThe spokesperson for Iran's National Security Commission issued a warning following the Israeli airstrike.

The Israeli attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut resulted in at least two deaths and 11 injuries. This strike marks the first such incident since Lebanon and Israel agreed to a conditional ceasefire on Wednesday, which was contingent on a cessation of attacks and the absence of Hezbollah, a key Iranian ally.

Rezaei, described as an influential conservative politician, referred to Israel as a "rabid dog" in a statement on X, formerly Twitter. The heightened tensions come as Pakistan's Interior Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, arrives in Tehran to deliver a "special message" to Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Jamenei, concerning stalled peace negotiations between Iran and the United States.

We must put this rabid dog in its place.

— Ebrahim RezaeiRezaei referred to Israel in strong terms in his statement.

Tehran is demanding an end to attacks against Lebanon as part of the negotiation process aimed at concluding a war that began in February. Iran also seeks the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas trade.

Be attentive to the sky over the occupied territories tonight.

— Ebrahim RezaeiThe Iranian official issued a direct threat regarding potential retaliation.
