Middle East crisis live: Iran threatens ‘painful’ response to Israeli strikes on southern Beirut

Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei said in a post on X on Sunday that Tehran will give a “painful” response to Israel’s attack on Beirut’s Dahiyeh southern suburb, after the Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the area.

“We will deliver a decisive and painful response to the Zionist regime’s attack on Dahiyeh,” he wrote, going on to say that “rabid dogs must be disciplined and put back in their place.”

“Look at the sky over the occupied lands tonight,” he added.
