The Iranian Embassy in Beirut has condemned the recent Israeli airstrike on the southern suburbs of Beirut, describing it as a dangerous escalation that changes the rules of the game. The embassy labeled the strike, which targeted densely populated residential neighborhoods, as a 'reprehensible crime' and 'reckless behavior.' The bombing of Dahiya, a Hezbollah stronghold, has been characterized by Iran as a brutal massacre with false justifications. The embassy warned that Israel's actions represent a significant shift in the conflict dynamics, calling for appropriate punishment for what it termed a 'crime.' Iran also stated that Israel will be punished and disciplined for its actions.
