“Following the aggressions and acts of malice by the bloodthirsty Zionist regime in southern Lebanon and the Dahiyeh area, carried out with the support of the criminal United States, the powerful Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran delivered a painful response to this regime in support of the oppressed people of Lebanon,” the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters said in a statement released on Monday afternoon.
It added that the response was one from which the fake Zionist regime and its supporters should learn a lesson.
“On this basis, the cessation of the Armed Forces’ operations is hereby announced,” the statement said.
However, it stressed that the halt in operations should not be interpreted as a sign of restraint in the face of future attacks.
“It is emphasized that if aggressions and acts of malice continue, including in southern Lebanon, much more severe and crushing measures than before will be on the way,” the headquarters warned.
