In a post on X, Leiter said Israel’s airstrikes against Iran are targeted at its surface-to-surface missile launch sites and non-energy infrastructure.
“The people of Lebanon have rejected Iran’s proxy, Hizballah, and have told Iran to get out of their country,” Leiter said.
“If Hizballah fires at Israel, its command centers in the Dahiya will be hit hard,” he said, referring to a southern district of Beirut that is widely recognised as a Hezbollah stronghold.
“This has nothing to do with Iran. Everyone has had enough of this maniacal Iranian regime.”
