Iranian National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani stated that despite some internal disagreements and protests within Iran, there was unified support for the government when Israel launched attacks. Larijani highlighted that Iran's missile barrage during the conflict rendered Israel's advanced defensive systems ineffective. He also emphasized the seriousness of enemy infiltration within Iran. Regarding Lebanon, Larijani clarified that Iran does not intend to interfere in Lebanon's internal affairs but stands in support of the Lebanese people and their decisions. He further asserted that regional peace cannot be achieved without the resistance forces' armament, as no other power can effectively deter Israel. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun echoed this stance, insisting that Iran should not interfere in Lebanon's affairs. Separately, The Telegraph reported that Iran's Revolutionary Guards are pursuing British spies using a leaked Ministry of Defence list allegedly provided by the Taliban. Additionally, UK ministers have been urged to disclose the presence of troops on Scottish soil, marking the first such deployment since the Cold War.
