In a fiery speech at a Cabinet meeting in Tehran, Iranian President Pezeshkian condemned Israel for detonating electronic devices in Lebanon, calling it a shameful act supported by Western backers, particularly the United States. The explosions on September 17, which left at least a dozen dead and thousands injured, were seen as evidence of the West’s inhumanity and lack of desire for peace in Gaza.
President Pezeshkian urged Muslim nations to unite against the Israeli massacres, emphasizing the need for solidarity and cohesion. The Lebanese government has blamed Israel for the attacks and vowed to file a complaint with the United Nations. Hezbollah, a prominent Lebanese political party, has vowed to hold Israel accountable for the deadly explosions.
Despite the escalating violence, Israel has refused to comment on the situation. The latest wave of explosions on Wednesday resulted in even more casualties, marking one of the deadliest incidents in Lebanon since the regime intensified its attacks. President Pezeshkian reiterated the importance of Muslim unity to combat the oppression and crimes perpetrated by Israel and its supporters.
