Iran’s military threatened on Tuesday to respond to Israel after strikes in southern Lebanon killed four people despite a deal between Tehran and Washington ending the war, including in Lebanon.

‘If the child-killing army of the Zionist regime does not put an end to its acts of aggression in southern Lebanon, it should await a harsh response from the powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,’ said the Iranian military’s central command Khatam al-Anbiya.

It added that Israel had violated the ceasefire in Lebanon ‘84 times’ since the deal was announced.
