Recent tensions in the Middle East have escalated following a deadly Israeli strike near the southern city of Sidon, Lebanon, on October 27. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least eight individuals and left 25 others injured.
The strike targeted a heavily populated suburb in Sidon that had been sheltering displaced families from more southern regions, further exacerbating the humanitarian situation in the area.
In response to the attack, President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran stated that his country will deliver an \\"appropriate response\\" to Israel's recent actions. However, he emphasized that Iran is not seeking conflict, aiming to de-escalate the situation despite the rising tensions.
