Iran Slams Israel for Breaching Lebanon Ceasefire Agreement
In recent news, Iran has strongly condemned the **Israeli attacks** on displaced Lebanese individuals attempting to return to their homes in southern Lebanon, which violates a ceasefire agreement. This incident highlights ongoing tensions in the region and raises significant humanitarian concerns.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei expressed serious concerns on Monday regarding these repeated breaches of the ceasefire by Israeli forces, stating that such actions violate **humanitarian law** and constitute clear examples of **war crimes**. Here are the key points from his statements:
- On Sunday, Israeli forces opened fire on displaced individuals trying to return to their villages near the border.
- This attack followed Israel’s failure to meet a sixty-day deadline for withdrawal from southern Lebanon as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement.
- Baghaei emphasized that the United States and France, as guarantors of the ceasefire, bear responsibility for the situation.
- He described the presence of Israeli forces in southern Lebanon as a continuation of military invasion and a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty.
- Baghaei called for the UN Security Council and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to hold Israel accountable for its acts of aggression.
Moreover, Iran remains committed to supporting the **Lebanese government** and its citizens, along with resistance groups in the country, against the Israeli regime’s expansionist actions, according to the spokesperson.
This ongoing conflict underlines the urgent need for effective international intervention and adherence to humanitarian principles in the region.
