Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, responded on Friday on X network to explicit criticism from high-ranking Lebanese officials, placing all blame on Israel. Nawaf Salam, Lebanon's Prime Minister, on Friday, June 5th, directly addressed Iran's leaders in a press conference with an explicit tone, saying: "Have mercy on our south; stop turning it and its people into a bargaining chip." Joseph Aoun, Lebanon's President, also had a similar message for Iran in an interview with CNN. He said: "This is not your country, it's our country. Interfering in our country is not your responsibility."

The Islamic Republic's Foreign Minister continued, addressing Aoun: "Mr. President, save Lebanon from your real enemy."

US Central Command: "CENTCOM forces destroyed missiles and drones launched by Iran" Machine translation: Tampa, Florida — US forces on June 5th intercepted several Iranian ballistic missiles and drones that were launched by Iran toward the Strait of Hormuz and neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf. Iran fired seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain several hours after US Central Command, CENTCOM, shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that had been launched toward the Strait of Hormuz. These attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic. US forces then targeted Iran's coastal surveillance radar sites in Gourk and Qeshm Island to defend against further maritime attacks. Initial assessments indicate that six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and the seventh missile did not reach its intended target. Currently there are no reports of US forces being harmed, and Iran's claims of inflicting damage on the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and fully prepared to respond to Iran's unprovoked aggressions within the framework of self-defense. CENTCOM 📡 @VahidOnline
