Israel’s large-scale strikes on Lebanon constitute a violation of the ceasefire, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh said in an interview with the UK’s ITV channel.

Khatibzadeh stated that Iran was ready to respond, but messages from Pakistan prevented this step.

“Last night was very critical. We had no choice but to respond. Then messages came from Pakistan that the Americans could restrain their ally, and we agreed,” the deputy minister emphasized.
