Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf told Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in a phone call that Israel must withdraw from Lebanese territory, according to a single source. Ghalibaf stated that if Israel does not withdraw, Iran will publicly support Lebanon and attack Israel.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf issued a direct threat against Israel in a phone call Tuesday with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, according to a desk-reviewed report news channel. Ghalibaf told Berri: 'Israel must withdraw from the occupied territories of Lebanon. If that does not happen, we will support you publicly and attack Israel.'
The call is part of a broader pattern of escalating Iranian verbal threats in recent days. As The Zioneer reported, Ghalibaf said Sunday that negotiations were 'impossible' after Israeli strikes in Lebanon, and later on Sunday vowed that the 'resistance will dismantle Israeli warmongering.' Over the past week, multiple Iranian officials — including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi — have linked the Lebanese front to Iran's broader position, warning that any Israeli attack on Lebanon or continued presence in southern Lebanon would be a violation of Iran's understanding with the United States and would be met with a response.
The unverified single-source report could not be independently confirmed. Berri serves as Hezbollah's representative in Western talks, and any such coordination between Tehran and Beirut underscores the alignment between the two capitals on the demand for a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
