Iran has issued a warning that it and its allies, known as the “Resistance Fronts,” will retaliate if Israel launches an attack on Lebanon.
This statement, coming from Iran’s mission in New York, reflects rising tensions in the region, where Israel and Hezbollah, a group supported by Iran, have been exchanging fire frequently since the conflict in Gaza began in October.

The Iranian mission described Israeli threats as psychological warfare but cautioned that any large-scale Israeli military action would provoke a severe response involving all regional allies.
The escalation in rhetoric follows Israel’s military confirming its readiness for a potential offensive in Lebanon, prompting Hezbollah to declare that such a conflict would not leave any part of Israel untouched.

This situation is part of a broader pattern of conflict in the Middle East, with Iran backing groups like Hamas in Gaza and other factions across the region.
Tensions have been high since incidents earlier in the year, including an Israeli airstrike in Damascus and subsequent Iranian retaliation.
The ongoing hostilities continue to raise concerns about a possible wider regional war.
