Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baqaei strongly condemned the Zionist regime's latest crime of targeting Lebanese citizens as hey were returning home at the end of a 60-day deadline to end the occupation of southern Lebanon.

He referred to hundreds of cases of the occupying regime's violation of the ceasefire agreement over the past 60 days and described the latest crime as the peak of the regime's breach of its obligations, a blatant violation of humanitarian laws and a clear example of war crimes.

Baqaei underscored the responsibility of the US and France as guarantors and observers of the ceasefire deal.

The Foreign Ministry spokesman noted that the continued presence of the Zionist occupiers in southern Lebanon is tantamount to the continuation of the regime's military aggression against Lebanon’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Baqaei said in addition to the guarantors of the ceasefire agreement and the command of the UN peacekeeping forces (UNIFIL), the UN Security Council has a clear responsibility to take effective measures to end this aggression and hold the Zionist regime accountable.

Baqaei reaffirmed the full support of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the Lebanese government, people, and resistance against the Israeli expansionism and acts of aggression.
He further praised the exemplary resistance and courage of the Lebanese people against the Zionist regime and honored the memory and legacy of the resistance martyrs, especially the noble martyr of the Islamic Ummah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and the martyrs of Sunday in southern Lebanon. Baqaei also prayed for the speedy recovery of those injured in the Israeli attacks.
