due to its continued support for Israel, according to official statements issued by the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
Iranian criticism of Israeli attacks

included in the recently signed memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States.

to any new developments in accordance with its strategic interests and the security of the region.
These statements come as international efforts continue to contain the escalation on the Lebanese front.
Simultaneously, there are accelerated diplomatic moves aimed at solidifying the ceasefire
and preventing the conflict from spreading further in the Middle East.
