Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Wednesday that Western backers of Israel should feel "shame" after paging devices belonging to Lebanon's Hezbollah exploded, in a deadly attack the Tehran-aligned group blamed on Israel.

"Western countries and the Americans... fully support the crimes, killings and indiscriminate assassinations of the Zionist regime," Pezeshkian said in a statement, referring to Israel, adding that the explosions should bring them "shame."
