Tehran will not leave any of Israel's aggressive actions unanswered, the Iranian authorities are monitoring the situation in the region and are in contact with the Lebanese authorities after the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani Chafi said.
"Iran is continuing its efforts even after First Vice President [Mohammad Reza Aref] spoke with [Lebanese Prime Minister Najib] Mikati. We are in touch with the Lebanese authorities and are monitoring the situation. Iran will not leave any of the aggressive actions of the Zionist regime (Israel - TASS) unanswered, the regime will not go unpunished for its crimes," the spokesman said at the press conference broadcast by the SNN TV channel.
According to the diplomat, Iran has repeatedly called on the international community to pay attention to Israel's attempts to expand the geography of the war in the Middle East. "This does not mean that Iran is afraid of war. We do not want it, we are trying to strengthen security and stability in the region," Kanaani Chafi explained.
