Trump’s Claim of Stopping Attacks on Lebanon Proves US-Israel Nexus

A senior Iranian diplomat has questioned the United States claims of preventing a major Israeli attack on the Lebanese capital Beirut, saying the statement exposes Washington’s direct role in managing Israeli military atrocities across the region.

Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi made the remarks on his X account on Tuesday, hours after US President Donald Trump claimed that he had persuaded Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel a large-scale attack on Beirut.

Gharibabadi said recent developments in Lebanon, Syria, and occupied al-Quds demonstrate that instability in the region is not the result of isolated tensions but rather Israel’s actions and the impunity it enjoys.
