Iranian leader Ebrahim Azizi has said a strong response to the Israeli attack on Beirut is forthcoming.
In a statement, Ebrahim Azizi, head of the National Security Committee of the Iranian parliament, said recent developments had shown that the United States lacked the ability to control Israel.
Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who led the Iranian delegation during talks in Islamabad, said on Sunday that progress in negotiations was not possible if the United States could not fulfil its responsibilities.
Ghalibaf said it would not be possible to continue peace negotiations if Israeli attacks on Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh did not cease.
He said the Zionist incursion into Dahiyeh had once again demonstrated that the United States either lacked the ability to meet its commitments or had no intention of doing so.
He added that, before the signing of the memorandum of understanding, Israel launched missile strikes on Beirut in an attempt to disrupt the dialogue process.
It is pertinent to note that three Lebanese people were killed and six others were injured in the attack.
