Iran threatens retaliation for Beirut strikes as ceasefire talks continue

Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters issued a formal warning that any large-scale Israeli military attack on Beirut's southern suburbs would trigger Iranian retaliation against northern Israel, according to Middle East Monitor. This escalates regional tensions even as Iran considers a deal to halt the war, with multiple military flashpoints now active simultaneously across Gaza, Lebanon, and the occupied territories.
