Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman warned Wednesday evening that continued IDF operations in southern Lebanon will be considered a violation of the memorandum of understanding with the United States, and that Iran will respond. The statement, reported by Israeli journalist Amit Segal (N12), comes as Israel continues strikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon. The warning follows a series of Iranian statements linking the US-Iran MOU to the situation in Lebanon: on Monday, Iran warned the US must enforce a ceasefire in Lebanon under the agreement, and on Tuesday Foreign Minister Araghchi conditioned a war-ending deal on Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, Iran's state news agency IRNA announced that Tehran and Moscow signed a separate MOU to purchase 20 helicopters for Iran's air relief fleet, expanding bilateral aviation ties.
