Tehran threatens Israel with 'zero hour' and holds Washington responsible for bombing Dahiyeh

Tehran issued strong warnings to the Israeli occupation following the air raid that targeted the southern Dahiyeh of Beirut, where the Iranian Foreign Ministry held the United States directly responsible for this violation of the ceasefire agreement. The Foreign Ministry affirmed in an official statement that Washington and Tel Aviv will bear all consequences resulting from this dangerous escalation that threatens the stability of the entire region.

In statements reflecting the seriousness of the situation, the advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, announced that the 'zero hour' has indeed arrived, indicating that specialized forces have begun preparing launch platforms to respond to the attack. These statements come at a time when the Lebanese front is witnessing unprecedented tension after a residential apartment in a densely populated area of the capital Beirut was targeted.

For his part, Ali Akbar Velayati, advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader, brandished the global economic pressure card, threatening that the continuation of Israeli attacks would lead to Iranian action in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab. Velayati clarified that Tehran is capable of strategically strangling the enemy's economic arteries if the aggression on Lebanese territory does not stop immediately.

In a related context, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, Secretary-General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, affirmed that the response is imminent and will not be delayed, describing Lebanon as 'the soul of Iran' that cannot be touched. Zolghadr stressed that his country will not tolerate any transgression of the red lines it has drawn to protect its allies in the region.

On the military front, Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of the 'Khatam al-Anbiya' headquarters of the Revolutionary Guard, announced that the fighters' fingers are on the trigger, awaiting orders to fire into the heart of the enemy. Abdollahi indicated that missile and defense capabilities, in addition to drone weapons, are now stronger than ever and ready for implementation.

On the ground, sources reported that the Israeli raid on the southern Dahiyeh targeted a residential apartment near 'Qalqas Bakery' on the highway connecting Musharrafieh and the airport bridge, resulting in martyrs and injuries. The attack was carried out with two guided missiles without any prior warning to residents, causing widespread destruction and a state of panic in the targeted area.

Inside Israel, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his security minister, Israel Katz, confirmed that the military operation in the heart of Beirut was carried out based on their direct instructions. Hebrew sources claimed that the attack came in response to the detection of drones that entered the airspace from Lebanon, some of which crashed in northern areas.

Extremist voices within the Israeli government escalated, with Bezalel Smotrich calling for the implementation of what is known as the 'Dahiyeh doctrine,' which involves leveling buildings to the ground and destroying infrastructure. Itamar Ben-Gvir also demanded that the southern Dahiyeh 'tremble' for every alleged ceasefire violation, amid claims of an American green light for these operations.

Concurrently, the occupation army continued its violent raids on southern Lebanon, where two people were martyred and others injured in attacks targeting the southern and Nabatiyeh governorates since dawn on Sunday. The Israeli army spokesman issued urgent warnings to residents of 29 southern towns and villages to evacuate their homes immediately in preparation for a new wave of intense shelling.

Statistics issued by the Lebanese Ministry of Health indicate that the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe is constantly increasing, with the number of martyrs since last March rising to more than 3,756. The ongoing military operations have also left more than 11,000 injured, in addition to the displacement of more than one million Lebanese from their villages and cities due to indiscriminate shelling.

These developments put the fragile ceasefire agreement to the test, amid Israel's insistence on continuing its military operations under the pretext of pursuing Hezbollah targets. With direct Iranian threats, the international community awaits the form of the upcoming response and its repercussions, which could ignite a comprehensive regional confrontation that transcends Lebanese borders.

Lebanon is our soul, and the violation of Iranian red lines will not be tolerated, and the response of the fighters of Islam is very close.
