Shafaq News- Tehran (Updated at 20:35)

Iran on Sunday pledged retaliation over the recent Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburb, vowing a “decisive and painful” response.

“This rabid dog must be disciplined and brought to heel. Look tonight at the skies over the occupied territories,” Ibrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, posted on X.

The Iranian hacking group “Hanthala” also urged residents in northern Israel to evacuate immediately, claiming it had transferred “secret coordinates” to missile units aligned with the resistance front and that the designated targets would soon be hit by heavy rocket fire.

Earlier today, the Israeli Army indicated that the strike targeted a “high-value” asset and came in response to rockets fired by Hezbollah toward Israeli settlements.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had previously warned that Tehran is prepared to respond militarily against Israel if it carries out its threatened strike on Beirut and its southern suburbs, cautioning that such a move could reignite the war.
