An Israeli strike on Beirut Friday eliminated Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah that has actually been equipped and funded by the Islamic republic for many years.
“We have actually not gotten any demand in this regard from any side, on the contrary, we are notified and make certain that they do not require the assistance of our forces,” Kanani informed press reporters in Tehran.
Kanani nevertheless pledged that Israel “will not stay without reprimand and penalty for the criminal activities it has actually dedicated versus the Iranian individuals, military workers and the resistance forces”.
