Iran's U.N. envoy warned the country had the "right to take all necessary measures to respond to this egregious violation."

The bombardment in Lebanon came as rescue workers in Beirut were still pulling bodies from the rubble from an Israeli airstrike Friday afternoon. The attack, in a southern suburb, killed 37 people, including at least two senior Hezbollah commanders, one of whom served as the group’s chief of operations.

Iran is outraged over the injury of its ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, during an explosion involving Hezbollah pagers, demanding international condemnation of Israel.
