Iran Condemns Israeli Attack on UNIFIL

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson condemned the Israeli regime’s military attack on the peacekeepers of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

“We strongly condemn the occupying regime's deliberate attack on UNIFIL. This is just one more example of lawless & callous behavior by an entity that has killed more than 220 UN staff members within the past year,” Esmaeil Baqaei said in a post on his X account on Friday evening.

Lashing out at the Zionist regime’s UN envoy for shredding the UN Charter, he said the Israeli foreign minister “has declared UNSG persona non grata; and its warmonger PM has abused the UNGA tribune to  threaten other States.”

“The world community must stand up against this evil,” Baqaei stressed.

The United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon said on Friday that its headquarters in Naqoura was hit by explosions for the second time in 48 hours, a day after Israeli forces struck the same position.

Two peacekeepers from the UNIFIL were injured after two explosions occurred close to an observation tower.
