Quds Force commander Qaani warns Israel as south Lebanon operations intensify

Tehran publicly confirms Ismail Qaani was in Beirut coordinating with Hezbollah as the IDF pushed north of the Litani and the group logged 22 operations against Israeli positions in 24 hours, putting the southern Lebanese file back at the centre of the wider Iran-Israel war.

Desk note: Monexus ran the Quds Force statement through three Iranian-aligned feeds (Al-Alam, Tasnim and a Lebanon-focused Telegram channel) rather than citing a single wire, because the cross-source convergence is itself the news. Where Israeli framing is in tension with the Iranian framing, both are stated in their strongest form and the article takes a position grounded in international law and the casualty record, not in either government's talking points.
