Iran warned on Monday that Israeli military strikes in Lebanon pose a serious threat to a recently concluded ceasefire with the United States. Tehran suggested that escalation of the regional conflict could call into question the entire diplomatic process.

Israeli Prime Minister previously ordered airstrikes against targets in southern Beirut suburbs. The decision was prompted by rockets and drones from Hezbollah directed at Israeli civilians.

Regional tensions have risen again despite diplomatic efforts to contain the broader expansion of the conflict. Israeli officials stressed that the strikes were a direct response to Hezbollah provocations and that the country has the right to protect its citizens.

Iran's warning adds a new dimension to an already complex situation in the Middle East, where multiple parties' interests collide. International observers are closely watching whether the situation escalates further or whether diplomacy can halt the emerging cycle of conflict.
