Iran warns Israel's strike in Beirut could impact U.S.-Iran deal

A drone strike on northern Israel on Sunday led to Israel retaliating by targeting Hezbollah positions in Beirut. Following these events, Iranian officials indicated that Israel's actions could jeopardize an impending U.S.-Iran agreement intended to end hostilities. Earlier, Hezbollah had launched drones at northern Israel, prompting Israel to strike a Hezbollah command center in Beirut, resulting in at least one fatality and four injuries. The Israeli military informed U.S. Central Command prior to the strike, but it remains unclear if the U.S. approved the action. Iranian chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that the Israeli strike undermines the U.S.-Iran negotiations, criticizing the U.S. for not fulfilling its commitments. Additionally, Gen. Mohammed Jafar Asadi of the Iranian armed forces warned that the Israeli attack would not go unanswered, while the IDF chief of staff indicated readiness for potential developments on other fronts.
