Tehran, Sep 19 (IANS) Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Thursday expressed condolences to the Lebanese people following a series of deadly explosions that Hezbollah has attributed to Israel.
In a post on social media platform X, Pezeshkian said he offered his sympathies to the families of those killed and injured in what he described as a "mass assassination" involving the bombing of communication devices.

Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad said the explosions, which occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday, have claimed 37 lives and left 2,931 injured, Xinhua news agency reported.
