Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made a statement regarding the delicate ceasefire between the US and Iran and the Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
According to reports in the Iranian press, Araghchi said that the Tehran administration would not remain silent in the face of any attack on the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
In a statement to the Lebanon-based Al Mayadeen, Araghchi said, "Any attack on Beirut will have serious consequences and will lead to the full resumption of war."
