Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei strongly condemned the continued inhumane actions of the Israeli occupation and the killing of civilians in Lebanon and Palestine, including the attack on a mosque in Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip that shelters refugees, and the airstrikes on residential buildings in the southern suburb of Beirut.

In a post on X, the spokesman expressed that killing civilians and destroying residential infrastructure is an integral part of Zionist and Takfiri ideas, noting that the policy of destabilizing the region pursued by the Zionist entity poses a serious threat to regional and international peace and stability.

Meanwhile, he stressed the "need for the international community to deal seriously with the Hitler of the new era, i.e., Netanyahu and the criminal leaders of the Zionist entity," stressing that failure to act against the crimes committed by the occupation would have consequences for all countries in the region and beyond.
 
The spokesman urged all countries in the world, particularly Islamic countries, to send immediate humanitarian aid to the displaced and refugees in Gaza and Lebanon in all possible ways and by using the enormous capabilities they have to confront the policy of terrorism and destabilization of security in the region practiced by the Israeli occupation.

In an interview with Iran’s Al-Alam network, Tangsiri stressed that Iran has comprehensive plans to address all potential scenarios. He also condemned Netanyahu’s regime for fueling tensions in the region through acts of aggression and terrorism in Gaza and Lebanon, while highlighting Iran's strategic readiness to confront any threats.

“We prepare ourselves for any situation,” he said. “The Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Sayyed Ali Khamenei] has always stressed the need for full readiness and vigilance in normal or emergency conditions in the region, among them Netanyahu’s play with fire.”

The IRGC commander also referenced last month’s large-scale military parade held in Iran at the start of Sacred Defense Week. He emphasized that the event sent a clear message to the enemies: "If they choose to ignite war in West Asia, Iran will stand resolutely against them".

He further stated that "Islam does not permit us to attack any country unless they invade us." However, he pointed out that enemies, driven by their desire to sell weapons and extend their illegal presence in the region, attempt to falsely portray Iran as a threat.

“Therefore, if our national and Islamic interests are not affected, we will not show any reaction, but in any case, we will defend the oppressed.”

On Saturday, the deputy chief of the Iranian Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, issued a stern warning to "Israel", stating that any misstep by the entity would endanger its very existence.

In an exclusive interview for Al Mayadeen, Fadavi said, “If the occupying entity makes a mistake, we will target all its energy sources, including power stations, refineries, and gas fields.”

He emphasized the contrast between Iran and the Israeli entity, pointing out that while Iran is a large country with many economic centers, "Israel" is limited to just three power stations and a few refineries.
