The Iranian military’s Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said in a statement on Monday that Iran’s retaliation against Israel for attacks on Lebanon has concluded, but warned that if hostilities continue, Iran’s response will be more severe.
“A painful response was delivered to the Israeli regime, and the suspension of armed forces operations is announced,” the statement said, according to Iranian state media.
“If the aggressions and provocations continue, including in southern Lebanon, much more severe and decisive actions than before will follow,” the statement added.
