The Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters — the supreme unified command structure of Iran's armed forces — issued a formal threat Monday afternoon vowing that Israel's strikes on Beirut's Dahieh neighborhood 'will not go unanswered,' according to a Telegram statement. The wording echoes earlier threats by the Houthi-aligned wing of the same command reported at 15:26 and an Iranian deputy commander's warning at 15:29, now consolidated into a single explicit Iranian military headquarters statement. No timeline, target type, or operational posture was detailed.
A formal statement from the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters — the supreme unified command of Iran's armed forces — issued at 15:34 Jerusalem directly threatens retaliation for Israel's weekend strikes on the Dahieh neighborhood in Beirut, using the wording "the crimes of the Zionist entity in Dahieh will not go unanswered." The statement consolidates a threat that first appeared at 15:23 Jerusalem via Houthi-aligned channels, which The Zioneer initially reported as a Houthi-affiliated warning. At 15:26 Jerusalem The Zioneer clarified that the Khatam al-Anbiya command is Iranian, not Houthi. Minutes later, at 15:29 Jerusalem, the deputy commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters issued a similar warning cited by N12. The 15:34 post elevates the threat to an official institutional statement.
At 15:32 Jerusalem, senior Iranian officials were quoted with comparable language. These threats follow an Israeli ultimatum at 14:05 Jerusalem threatening to eliminate Hezbollah operatives worldwide including in Tehran. The Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters has a history of retaliation threats — as The Zioneer reported on June 10, the command issued threats against the United States and claimed "powerful attacks" on US bases as retaliation for strikes.
No specific timeline, target type, or operational posture change has been detailed. No escalation in alert levels has been detected on Iranian or proxy channels.
