Iran vows response to Guards deputy commander ******** in Lebanon

DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday that the ******** by ******* of an Iranian Revolutionary Guards deputy commander in Beirut was a “horrible ******” that would not go unanswered.

Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan was ******* in the ******** strikes on Beirut on Friday in which Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah also *****.

“There is no doubt that this horrible ****** committed by the Zionist regime (*******) will not go unanswered,” Araqchi said in a statement addressed to the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Hossein Salami.

Earlier on Sunday, Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said that Iran-alligned armed groups would carry on confronting ******* with Tehran’s help following the ******** of Nasrallah, Iranian state media reported.

An alliance known as the Axis of Resistance, built up over decades with Iranian support, includes the ************ group ******, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Yemen’s Houthis, and various Shi’ite ******* armed groups in Iraq and Syria.

“We will not hesitate to go to any level in order to help the resistance,” Qalibaf said.

He also issued a warning to the ******* States.

“The U.S. is complicit in all of these ******* and…has to accept the repercussions,” he said.

Iran’s Vice-President for Strategic Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif, asked about Nasrallah’s **************, told state media on Sunday Iran would react at an appropriate time of its choosing against *******.
