Iran on Sunday issued a warning to Israel about potential military “adventures” in Lebanon, following a deadly rocket strike in the Israel-annexed Golan Heights tied to Hezbollah.
Tehran alerted that such actions could have “unforeseen consequences,” as stated by Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani.
“Any ignorant action of the Zionist regime can lead to the broadening of the scope of instability, insecurity and war in the region,” said Kanani.He added that Israel would be held accountable for “the unforeseen consequences and reactions to such stupid behaviour.”
The warning came after Hezbollah claimed responsibility on Saturday, for multiple attacks on Israeli military positions in southern Lebanon, triggered by a recent deadly raid. However, Hezbollah has denied involvement in the rocket fire that Israeli authorities say killed 12 people, including children, in the Druze town of Majdal Shams.
Kanani accused Israel of using Hezbollah as a scapegoat to “divert public opinion and world attention from its massive crimes” in the Gaza Strip, where conflict has surged since October 7.
He also asserted that Israel lacks “the least moral authority to comment” on the deaths in Majdal Shams, an area annexed by Israel from Syria in 1967, a move not recognised by the United Nations.
Iran has been a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause since the 1979 Islamic revolution and does not recognise Israel. While the Islamic republic praised Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, which escalated the Gaza conflict, it has denied any direct involvement.
