Iran has warned Israel about the consequences of waging an all-out war on Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
Iran's mission to the UN said in a statement on Friday that Israel would be the “ultimate loser” of any military action against Lebanon, Press TV reports.
“Undoubtedly, this war will have one ultimate loser, which is the Zionist regime. The Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, has the capability to defend itself and Lebanon – perhaps the time for the self-annihilation of this illegitimate regime has come,” Iran’s mission to the United Nations said.
The statement said Hezbollah is capable of defending both itself and Lebanon.
It also warned that any action by Israel against Lebanon could plunge the region into a new conflict.
“Any imprudent decision by the occupying Israeli regime to save itself could plunge the region into a new war, the consequence of which would be the destruction of Lebanon’s infrastructure as well as that of the 1948 occupied territories,” it noted.
