Iran warns Israel of harsh response after strikes kill four in Lebanon

Iran accused Israel of violating the truce in Lebanon 84 times after Israeli forces killed four people in southern Lebanon, and as US President Donald Trump criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he has to be “more responsible” in Lebanon.

Iran claimed that Israel violated the truce, the memorandum of understanding was agreed to between Tehran and the US, and warned Israel of a “harsh response” if attacks continue. 

A third tanker carrying Iranian oil has sailed past the US navy’s blockade line in the Gulf of Oman, according to TankerTrackers. 

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says any agreement with the US must include the release of frozen Iranian assets, sanctions relief and Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon.

Earlier on Tuesday, multiple Israeli strikes have killed at least four people in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh governorate, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency, despite a ceasefire and a recent understanding between the United States and Iran to end the war on all fronts, reports Al Jazeera.
