Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a phone call with his Lebanese counterpart, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, that if Israeli 'crimes' in Lebanon continue, Iran will not only halt the dialogue process but will also stand against it. Ghalibaf's statement was published on an Arabic-language the source.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf spoke by phone with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and issued a clear threat over Israel's military operations in Lebanon. 'If the crimes of Israel in Lebanon continue, we will not only stop the dialogue process, but also stand against it,' Ghalibaf was quoted as saying on the Arabic the source 'Abu Saleh Al-Desk Al-Arabi.' The message also included calls for 'resistance' and 'solidarity between Iran and Lebanon,' along with an appeal for US President Donald Trump to 'wake up.' The statement comes amid a series of hawkish declarations from Ghalibaf in recent days, as The Zioneer has previously reported. In recent bulletins, Ghalibaf has warned that US and Israeli assets in the region are no longer immune from attack and demanded reparations from Washington. The latest threat appears to tie a potential collapse of diplomatic dialogue directly to continued Israeli activity across the border. No official confirmation of the call from Berri's office or from Iranian state media has been published as of this report.
