Beirut strike exposes US failure to honor commitments, says Iran's speaker

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Israel’s strike on Beirut’s Dahieh district demonstrated that Washington either does not have the political will or the capacity to fulfil its obligations, cautioning that further progress would be impossible if the United States failed in this regard.

“The Zionists’ aggression against Dahieh once again showed that the United States either has no will to implement its commitments or lacks the ability to do so. You cannot gain concessions by showing a green light to the regime. The bad cop-good cop game has become old,” Ghalibaf said in a post on X.

“If you do not have the will and ability to implement your commitments, it is not possible to speak of continuing the path,” he added.

تجاوز صهیونیست‌ها به ضاحیه باردیگر نشان داد آمریکا یا اراده‌ای برای اجرای تعهدات خود ندارد یا توان آن را. با چراغ سبز نشان دادن به رژیم نمی‌توانید امتیاز بگیرید. بازی پلیس بد و پلیس خوب قدیمی شده است.
اگر اراده و توان اجرای تعهدات خود را ندارید، سخن گفتن از ادامه مسیر ممکن نیست.

On June 14, the Israeli military conducted airstrikes targeting a Hezbollah command centre in Beirut's southern Dahieh suburb, in direct response to Hezbollah launching projectiles toward northern Israel. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz stated that the operation aimed at infrastructure used to plan attacks against Israeli civilians and forces, with measures taken to minimise civilian harm.
