Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee, warned Tuesday evening that any violation of the understandings with Iran will be met with a decisive and crushing response. The Persian-language statement, which is more severe than its English counterpart, was reported by Israeli media.
Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee, issued a sharp warning Tuesday evening against any breach of the understandings between Iran and the United States, stating it would draw a "decisive and crushing response." According to reports cited by Israeli media, Azizi specifically linked the warning to Israel's presence in southern Lebanon, demanding a swift withdrawal in line with the memorandum of understanding. Notably, the English version of his statement, which he published separately, omits the implicit military threat — a detail highlighted in the Hebrew reports. Azizi is the same lawmaker who earlier this week threatened that the conflict would not remain "limited to the region" if U.S. commitments were not met, as The Zioneer reported earlier. The Iranian warning comes amid an ongoing thread of escalating statements from Tehran over enforcement of the emerging deal: Foreign Minister Araghchi said Tuesday that any Israeli strike on Lebanon or continued presence in occupied lands constitutes a breach of the MoU, and a senior Iranian source on Monday threatened to blow up the agreement if the IDF did not withdraw from Lebanon by nightfall. The repeated threats, increasingly conditional and severe in Persian-language channels, suggest Tehran is signaling domestic audiences a tougher posture than it conveys in English-language diplomacy.
