Tehran vows payback after Israel attacks Beirut despite truce

Israeli warplanes conducted airstrikes on residential buildings in Beirut's southern suburbs on Sunday, despite a recently announced US-brokered ceasefire. These attacks, which resulted in two fatalities, mark the first on the Lebanese capital since a truce plan was unveiled. In response, Iran has vowed "decisive and painful" retaliation, with its parliament speaker declaring US and Israeli assets as legitimate targets due to "hostile acts" and "violation of agreements over Lebanon." U.S. President Donald Trump, while advocating for "more surgical strikes" against Hezbollah, stated he was not demanding Lebanon's inclusion in any deal with Iran.
The renewed Israeli strikes and Iran's retaliatory threats escalate regional tensions, jeopardizing a fragile ceasefire and complicating broader peace negotiations.
