Iran has announced that it will take necessary measures in response to an attack that injured its ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani. The incident occurred during an exploding pager attack targeting Hezbollah, resulting in the death of at least 12 individuals, including children, and injuring thousands across Lebanon.
In a letter to the UN, Iran's mission stated that it will follow up on the attack against its ambassador and reserves its right under international law to respond to the crime. Iran is a supporter of Hezbollah, a powerful militia group in the Middle East that has been engaged in conflicts with Israel since the recent Hamas attacks on October 7.
While Israel has not directly commented on the explosions in Lebanon, reports suggest that they may be behind the attacks. Iran has called on the UN Secretary-General and the Security Council to condemn Israel's actions, labeling them as terrorist and a violation of Lebanon's sovereignty.
The ambassador's wife provided an update on social media, stating that his treatment is progressing well. The situation remains tense as Iran prepares to address the attack on its diplomatic representative in Lebanon.
