Senior Iranian officials warned Monday that Tehran would respond forcefully to any renewed Israeli attacks, following a brief escalation between the two sides triggered by Israeli strikes in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
In a post on US social media company X, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Iran’s response had changed what he described as the equation between a ceasefire on paper and repeated violations on the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs long as there is no genuine will for confidence-building, Iran\u2019s response will remain the same,\u201d Qalibaf said.<\/p>\n
Separately, Secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr warned against what he described as further actions by a \u201cUS-Israeli alliance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the Zionist-American alliance makes another mistake, the region will become hell for them,\u201d Zolghadr said in a message carried by the Mehr news agency.<\/p>\n
Tensions escalated Sunday after Israel bombed the Lebanese capital Beirut despite an ongoing ceasefire, prompting Iran to launch missiles toward northern Israel in response.<\/p>\n
Israel subsequently carried out several waves of airstrikes against Iran.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s military said early Monday it was halting attacks on Israel while warning of a \u201ccrushing\u201d response if Israeli attacks against Lebanon continued.<\/p>\n
Israeli media, citing unnamed officials, reported that Israel had agreed to halt airstrikes on Iran but would continue its offensive in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sahin Demir 08 June 2026\u2022Update: 08 June 2026 Senior Iranian officials warned Monday that Tehran would respond forcefully…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":482552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43,180804],"class_list":["post-482551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-sitekeywords"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=482551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/482552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=482551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=482551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
