Iran's top diplomat reiterated Tehran's commitment to supporting the Lebanese government, its people, and the Resistance in their struggle against the Israeli aggression.

During a meeting on Friday in Beirut, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi discussed recent developments in Lebanon with Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati.

The Prime Minister condemned the Israeli actions as blatant war crimes and criticized the UN Security Council for its inaction regarding "Israel's" reckless behavior.

In response, Araghchi reaffirmed Iran’s resolve to stand by the Lebanese government, its nation, and Resistance against Israeli aggression. He emphasized the necessity for collaborative efforts among all Islamic and Arab nations to expose the extent of "Israel's" criminal and unlawful actions.

Araghchi concluded by urging international organizations to mobilize for coordinated action to halt the Israeli onslaught.

He also addressed the Iranian attack on "Israel", emphasizing that it was a legitimate act of self-defense, in accordance with United Nations principles.

The Iranian diplomat highlighted that Tehran targeted only military and security facilities. He stressed that his country did not initiate the attack, describing Iran's actions as a "response to the targeting of Iranian territory, our embassy in Damascus, and Iranian interests."

In this context, he emphasized that if "Israel" takes any action against Iran, the country's response will be stronger, proportional, comprehensive, and calculated. He clarified that Iran has no plans to escalate unless the Israeli entity decides to target it.

During his meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, the Iranian Foreign Minister affirmed that Iran is determined to provide comprehensive support to Lebanon in the face of Israeli aggression.

He also emphasized that his country’s support for Lebanon aims to achieve peace and stability in the region and to put an end to the genocidal actions being carried out by "Israel".

Upon arriving in Beirut, Araghchi wrote on X: "I am in Beirut—alongside members of our Parliament and Red Crescent Society—to make clear that Iran will ALWAYS stand with people of Lebanon."

He also called on other countries in the region to support Lebanon against Israeli aggression.

It is worth noting that Lebanon's caretaker Minister of Health, Firass Abiad, announced on Thursday that the death toll of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon since October 8 has risen to 1,974, including 127 children and 261 women, with an additional 9,384 people injured, marking a preliminary figure amid the ongoing Israeli aggression.
