Senior Iranian MP warns of ‘painful and decisive response’ tonight over Israel’s Beirut strikes

Today, 5:38 pm the Times of Israel 11am EST

A senior Iranian parliament member promises a “painful and decisive response” to Israel’s airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs today.

“We will give a decisive and painful response to the Zionist regime’s attack on the suburbs. This rabid dog must be disciplined and put in its place. Watch the sky of the occupied territories tonight,” Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for parliament’s foreign policy and national security committee, writes on X.

Iran considers all of Israel “occupied territories.”

Iran’s foreign minister last week threatened that any Israeli attack on Beirut would be a violation of the ceasefire with the US and elicit a response from Iran.
