Iran's judiciary chief says Tehran stands with Lebanon

The Israeli military said it had uncovered an underground Hezbollah tunnel network in southern Lebanon’s Beaufort Heights, which it said was designed and financed by Iran.

"The Israeli military is revealing an asset from the underground tunnel network of the Hezbollah terrorist organization that was built with the design and financing of the Iranian terrorist regime in the Beaufort Heights," the Israeli military's Persian language spokesperson said in a statement.

The statement said the network was built about six kilometers from Metula and included tunnels, weapons storage, anti-tank positions and infrastructure for prolonged combat.

Tehran prosecutors filed a case against journalist Abbas Abdi and the reformist newspaper Etemad following the publication of an article by Abdi, the judiciary's news agency Mizan reported.

The case was referred to an investigating judge for further inquiry, the report said.

According to Mizan, Abdi was summoned and informed of charges including creating divisions among segments of society and publishing falsehoods and inaccurate information, citing provisions of Iran's Press Law and Islamic Penal Code.

US bases and and Israeli assets in the region have become "legitimate targets," Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a post on X on Sunday.

"They neither abide by the ceasefire nor believe in dialogue, and through the naval blockade and violations of the agreements regarding Lebanon, they have shown that they only understand the language of force," Ghalibaf said.

"The naval blockade against the Iranian nation and America's green light today to the Zionist regime turn American and regime bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets. The hand of our armed forces is open, as always," he added.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the US-Iran ceasefire remained in place.

"Of course it's a ceasefire," Hegseth told reporters before departing France, where he had attended a World War II memorial ceremony.

He added that President Donald Trump was "very clear things can happen intermittently" during a ceasefire, but remained focused on negotiations.

"We're negotiating actively," Hegseth said. "Things are happening, shipping is moving through. Iran shouldn't be shooting at it. And when they do, we take care of that as you would expect."

"But ultimately, we think a deal, a great deal, is likely coming soon," he added.

President Donald Trump will not agree to a bad deal with Iran despite pressure to conclude negotiations quickly, Republican US Sen. James Lankford told Fox News.

"(Iran is) definitely trying to string us along, and Donald Trump is not going for it at all," Lankford said.

"It’s interesting to see how many folks on the left, and some folks on the right, even, are trying to be able to push President Trump to be able to make a bad deal just to be able to get it over with," he added.
