Iran's Military Command Warns Israel of 'Hard Response' Over Lebanon Attacks; Trump Threatens Renewed Military Action Against Iran

Iran's Top Joint Military Command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, issued a statement on Tuesday, June 17, warning Israel to halt its attacks on southern Lebanon or face a 'hard response' from Iranian armed forces. This warning comes despite a recently announced US-Iran memorandum of understanding aimed at de-escalation. Separately, U.S. President Donald Trump stated at the G7 summit on Wednesday that the U.S. could resume military action against Iran if future negotiations fail, describing the anticipated memorandum as 'not final.'
