Iran says Israel’s Beirut strike ‘crossed all red lines’ (original) (raw)
Smoke rises from the site of an Israeli airstrike that targeted a neighborhood in the southern Lebanese coastal city of Tyre on June 7, 2026. Israel and Hezbollah regularly exchange fire but the south of the capital -- including districts seen as bastions of the Iran-backed group -- has been relatively spared, having been struck only twice since mid-April. Israel later issued an evacuation warning for most of the southern Lebanese city of Tyre and its surroundings, a more frequent site of strikes. (Photo by Kawnat HAJU / AFP)

TEHRAN, Iran (AFP) — Iran’s military central command said Sunday that Israel’s latest strike on the southern Beirut suburbs had “crossed all red lines”, demanding a halt to its campaign in Lebanon.
“The Israeli army must stop its attacks on southern Lebanon and the suburbs, and if it expands its attacks to that region or responds to Iran’s action, it will face more devastating and regrettable blows,” said General Ali Abdollahi, the head of the Khatam al-Anbiya command, without directly mentioning missile salvos that Israel said it was intercepting.
