The Iranian Embassy in Lebanon has strongly condemned Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that the decades-old agreement with Syria in the strategic Golan Heights had collapsed, stating that the measure testifies to the expansionist intentions of the Tel Aviv regime.

According to The Iran Project, Netanyahu’s declaration of the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement, and his occupation of new territories in the Syrian Golan serve as a clear testimony to his entity’s expansionist ambitions that know no bounds,” the diplomatic mission wore in an Arabic post published on its official X account on Monday.

The embassy added that the move also attests to Israel’s utter disregard for any ceasefire agreement, international law and treaties.

The mission concluded by stating that the Zionist regime is familiar only with the language of force, and must be stopped.

Netanyahu said on Sunday that the decades-old agreement with Syria had collapsed, and he ordered Israeli forces to grab a buffer zone in the Golan Heights after Syrian soldiers abandoned their positions.
