Iran: Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned residents of northern Israel on Monday to leave the area if Israel carries out threats to expand attacks on Beirut and its southern suburbs, according to remarks carried by the state-run IRNA news agency.

According to Anadolu Agency, the headquarters stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened to bomb Beirut and the Dahieh district in the Lebanese capital, issuing evacuation warnings to residents there. The Iranian authority cautioned that if such threats are executed, residents of northern Israel and military settlements should vacate the area to avoid potential harm.

In a post on the US social media platform X, the Intelligence Organization of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared that Tehran considers any crossing of what it termed as red lines in Lebanon and Gaza to be a direct war and an attempt to impose costs on Iran's national security and the so-called resistance axis. The statement emphasized that Iran would respond with what it described as defensive operations, including 'opening new fronts,' while maintaining its stance on the Strait of Hormuz. 'Whoever sows the wind will reap the whirlwind,' the post asserted.

Additionally, Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader, stated on X that the Strait of Hormuz remains under Iranian control and warned against what he described as a continued naval blockade. 'The Strait of Hormuz is under Iran's management. We will not allow the continuation of the naval blockade, nor will further escalation in Lebanon be tolerated,' Rezaei wrote.
