Qalibaf made the remarks in a post on his X account amid heightened regional tensions following Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs and continued violations of the April 8 ceasefire agreement, developments that triggered a series of Iranian retaliatory actions against Israeli military targets.
“We disrupted the equation of a ceasefire that exists on paper while being repeatedly violated on the ground. Until there is a genuine will to build trust, Iran’s response will remain the same,” he said.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted the Ramat David airbase with ballistic missiles, describing the site as a source of Israeli attacks against Lebanon, including strikes that caused civilian casualties and displacement in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district and southern Lebanon.
On Monday morning, the IRGC launched “Operation Nasr (Victory),” targeting the Tel Nof and Nevatim airbases in the occupied territories in response to Israeli missile attacks on radar facilities inside Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters announced the suspension of military operations against the Israeli regime on Monday afternoon but said the move should not be interpreted as restraint in the event of further aggression.
The headquarters stated that Iranian Armed Forces had delivered a “painful response” to Israeli actions in southern Lebanon and Beirut’s Dahiyeh area in support of the Lebanese people, warning that any future aggression would prompt “much more severe and crushing measures.”
