Iran Vows Painful Retaliation on US and Israel After Israeli Raids on Beirut

Iran has warned of a full-scale response after Israeli strikes struck Beirut’s Dahiyeh district. Tehran condemned the attack as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and accused the United States of giving it a green light. Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said American and Israeli bases are now legitimate targets. A security spokesman threatened a decisive and painful response, calling the attackers “rabid dogs.” Efforts to defuse the crisis have stalled over $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Pakistani and Lebanese officials have held shuttle talks between Tehran and Washington. In the Gulf, US forces shot down two Iranian drones after a missile salvo targeted Bahrain and Kuwait, heightening fears of a wider confrontation.
