“The use of tools, originally designed to improve human comfort and welfare, as instruments of terror and destruction against those who do not share the same views is a testament to the collapse of humanity and the dominance of savagery and criminal behavior,” Pezeshkian said in the cabinet meeting in Tehran on Wednesday.
The comments came a day after at least 12 people were killed and 3,000 others injured in Lebanon after wireless communication devices, known as pagers, exploded in different locations across Lebanon.
Based on preliminary investigation, officials were quoted as saying that the blasts appear to have been caused by an attack orchestrated by the Israeli regime amid heightened tensions.
Such attacks are a “source of shame” for Western countries, especially the Americans, who “spare no effort in pursuing their inhumane objectives,” added the Iranian president.

“This incident once again demonstrated that while Western countries and the Americans outwardly claim to seek a ceasefire, in reality, they fully support the crimes, massacres, and indiscriminate acts of terror carried out by the Zionist regime,” he noted.
“The remedy to reforming this situation and breaking the chain of oppression and crimes committed by the Zionist regime and its supporters against the oppressed Palestinians and the Islamic world lies in the unity and cohesion of Muslims and Islamic countries,” Pezeshkian stressed.
Earlier, Hezbollah said that after examining all facts and available information about the attacks, it holds the Israeli regime "fully responsible for this criminal aggression.”
“The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon will continue, today as in all the past days, its blessed operations in support of Gaza, its people, and its resistance,” the group further said in its Wednesday statement.
