Iran's Interim Foreign Minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, issued a stark warning, stating that if Israel launches a full-scale war against Hezbollah, Lebanon will become "a hell without return" for Israel.
Bagheri made these comments during a cabinet meeting, emphasizing Hezbollah's role in creating necessary deterrence both on the ground and diplomatically.
The remarks come amidst escalating concerns over a potential Israeli invasion of Lebanon, which has been under daily assault since the conflict in Gaza began on October 7, 2023. Bagheri's statement reflects Iran's support for Hezbollah and its readiness to respond to any Israeli aggression in the region.
Regarding diplomatic developments, Bagheri mentioned the potential visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman to Iran, indicating that discussions are underway between the Iranian and Saudi governments pending the formation of Iran's new government.
He also addressed the potential implications of a Donald Trump presidency in the United States, asserting that Iranian strategic policies remain steadfast despite potential changes in international leadership.
Iran's stance underscores its commitment to regional stability amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. (ILKHA)
