Iran denounces ‘brutal and vicious’ air strike in Beirut, calls it a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty

Iran's foreign ministry on Friday condemned an Israeli air strike in southern Beirut, which resulted in the death of a top Hezbollah commander along with several senior leaders of the group’s elite Radwan forces.

“The brutal and vicious air strike of the Zionist regime on Beirut... is a gross violation of international law and regulations, as well as the violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security,” said foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani in a statement.
