Ali Larijani, an advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stated on Friday that Israel is “crossing Tehran’s red lines,” warning that “the situation has become dangerous.”
This comment followed an Israeli attack targeting the central command of Hezbollah in Beirut’s southern suburbs. According to a senior Israeli official, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah was the intended target of the strike.
In an interview with Iranian state television, Larijani emphasized, “Assassinations will not solve Israel’s problems,” noting that “other leaders” will replace those Hezbollah figures assassinated by Israel.
Earlier, a senior Iranian security official told Reuters that Tehran is investigating reports of Nasrallah’s death, while a source close to Hezbollah confirmed to Reuters that Nasrallah is alive.
Iranian media also reported that Iranian President Masoud Bezeshkian condemned the attack, calling it a “blatant war crime that cannot be denied, once again exposing the state terrorism practiced by the Zionist regime.”
