Iran's president warns their hands 'remain on the trigger' and accuses Israel of ceasefire violation

The Iranian president says Israeli attacks on Lebanon "blatantly violates" the ceasefire agreement.

"Such actions signal deception and non-compliance, rendering negotiations meaningless," Masoud Pezeshkian says in a post on X.

He says Iran's hands will "remain on the trigger" and that the country will "never forsake its Lebanese brothers and sisters".

The comments come a day after the Israeli military said it had hit Lebanon with more than 100 air strikes, on what it describes as Hezbollah targets. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will continue to strike Hezbollah "wherever necessary".

Meanwhile, the speaker of the Iranian parliament warns that "ceasefire violations carry explicit costs and strong responses".

Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf says Lebanon is an "inseparable part of the ceasefire", and that there is "no room for denial and backtracking".

"Extinguish the fire immediately," he says.
