Iran's foreign ministry condemned Israeli air strikes on southern Lebanon that killed 11 people, including children, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran "regrets" what he described as the international community's continued silence and the inaction of the UN Security Council in the face of blatant violations of international law and human rights law. The statement followed Saturday's strikes, the deadliest in Lebanon since the June truce, which Israel said targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in response to an attack that wounded three of its soldiers. Iran's response underscores Tehran's continued political backing for Hezbollah and its use of the Security Council's paralysis as a diplomatic talking point in the aftermath of its own war with Israel and the United States.
