Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has strongly condemned the brutal and terrorist airstrikes by the Zionist regime on several residential buildings in the Dahieh district in southern Beirut.

The Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that this barbaric attack, which was carried out with the bombs donated by the US to the rebellious Zionist regime, in addition to being a flagrant violation of international law as well as the sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security of Lebanon, is a brazen and undeniable war crime.

Kanaani added that therefore, without a doubt, the US regime, along with the Zionist regime, is an accomplice in this crime and must be held accountable.

He added that the continuation of the Zionist regime's crimes against the people of Palestine and Lebanon clearly shows that calls for a ceasefire by the US and some Western countries are clearly a deceptive move meant to allow the Zionist regime to buy time and press ahead with its crimes against the people of Palestine and Lebanon.

Kanaani also said the escalation of the insane attacks by the Zionists against Palestine and Lebanon and the shameless killing of citizens and innocent people is the result of the inaction of the international community vis-à-vis all these crimes and atrocities.

Kanaani described Friday's brutal attacks of the Zionists on Beirut as an indication of the depth of the Israeli criminal gang's hatred for the Lebanese resistance and their desperation and helplessness to face the brave forces of Hezbollah at the battlefield.

He referred to the shining history of the brave and heroic resistance and persistence of the Lebanese people and resistance against the Zionists and the humiliating expulsion of the invaders from southern Lebanon, as well as the defeat of the Zionists in the 33-day war.

He expressed confidence that the resistance and the Lebanese people will emerge victorious from this confrontation with the Zionist enemy and their honorable defense of the oppressed Palestinian people.

Kanaani also said the Zionists will not be able to achieve their heinous and illegitimate goals by resorting to escalating their atrocities.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman reaffirmed Iran's solidarity with Lebanon and once again stressed the Islamic Republic of Iran's firm support for the Lebanese nation, government, and resistance.
