Israel condemned Iran for its dishonest depiction of events after the Israel Defense Forces pounded Hezbollah targets in Beirut on Sunday in retaliation for the terror group’s drone attack on northern Israel earlier that day.
“The Iranian regime, as always, is lying. Iran’s proxy, Hezbollah, is the one that attacked Israel again this morning, completely unprovoked,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry posted to X, linking to a post by Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf.

“Hezbollah constantly fires at Israeli civilians. Even after the ceasefire, Hezbollah has not stopped targeting Israelis. It was Hezbollah that launched an unprovoked attack on Israel in March, acting under the orders of its Iranian masters,” Israel said.

Ghalibaf, who serves as speaker of parliament, asserted that Israel’s targeted attack had been carried out with the approval of the U.S.
