Iran has suspended its military operations against Israel after delivering what it called a painful response over Israeli attacks on Lebanon, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said, as reported by state media on June 8.

The announcement points to a pause in the sharpest escalation since an April ceasefire, though Iran tied any durability to a halt in Israeli operations in Lebanon and warned of heavier strikes if attacks resumed.

The headquarters said the halt followed a response to Israeli actions in southern Lebanon and Beirut's Dahiyeh district carried out with US support and but did not mention the request by Donald Trump for both sides to stop firing on each other. .

The statement said the Israeli regime and its supporters must learn a lesson from the response, and that far more intense measures than before would follow if aggression continued.

The pause came after the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps struck Israel's Ramat David air base late on June 7, describing it as the origin of Israeli aggression against Lebanon, then targeted the Nevatim and Tel Nof air bases on June 8 in an operation it said answered Israeli strikes on several Iranian cities.

Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for the headquarters, said Israeli forces had taken heavy, targeted and costly blows against sensitive sites inside Israel. "We acted as we had promised," Zolfaghari said.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of parliament and head of Iran's negotiating team, said in a social media message that Iran had broken the equation of a ceasefire on paper repeatedly violated on the ground, Jamaran reported.

"As long as you have no real will for confidence-building, Iran's response will be the same," Ghalibaf said.

Iranian officials have maintained that the April 8 ceasefire was conditional on a truce on all fronts, and accuse Israel of continuing daily attacks on Lebanon with US backing.

Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned that the region would become hell for the US-Israeli coalition if it erred again.
