Iran’s IRGC says Israel must immediately stop attacks on Lebanon

TEHRAN, June 5 — Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said Thursday that Israel must immediately stop its attacks against the Lebanese people and withdraw from occupied Lebanese territories. In a statement on its official outlet Sepah News, the IRGC reaffirmed that Iran’s primary condition for accepting the April 8 truce with the United States and Israel was a comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon. In an interview broadcast by Lebanese broadcaster Al Mayadeen on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi warned that Iran would respond if Israel attacks Beirut, saying Tehran had informed all parties that it would not tolerate an assault on the Lebanese capital and that such a move could trigger a return to war.
