Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, who sustained injuries in the recent Beirut terror attack, met with the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Friday. The meeting emphasizes Iran’s resolve in addressing threats to its diplomatic corps and national interests.
The attack, described as a “pager terror attack,” targeted the Iranian envoy, leaving him injured but stable. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation from Iranian officials, who have attributed the attack to the Zionist regime. Iran has long accused Israel of orchestrating subversive actions to destabilize its regional influence.
Seyed Mohammad Marandi, a prominent political analyst, highlighted the incident on his verified Twitter account, stating, “An attack on the ambassador is an attack on Iran.” He further warned that the “Zionist regime will soon regret the terror attack as well as its aggression against the Islamic Republic.”
The Iranian government has vowed a swift response, with senior officials framing the attack as a direct affront to Iran’s sovereignty. Tehran has pledged to hold the perpetrators accountable while reaffirming its commitment to safeguarding its diplomatic missions.
The Supreme Leader’s meeting with the injured ambassador is seen as a symbolic gesture of solidarity, reflecting Iran’s unwavering stance against acts of aggression. Ayatollah Khamenei reportedly emphasized Iran’s determination to respond decisively to threats against its interests.
