The Iranian embassy in Beirut condemned Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital as a "dangerous, game-changing escalation," labeling the attacks a "crime" that deserves "appropriate punishment." Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati criticized Israel's actions, stating they reflect a disregard for ceasefire efforts amid ongoing tensions with Hezbollah. In response to the strikes, U.S. President Joe Biden confirmed that the U.S. had "no knowledge or participation" in the attacks, adding that more information is needed before assessing the situation. The strikes come as calls for a 21-day ceasefire were discussed at the UN General Assembly.
