Iran has sternly warned Israel against “any new adventurism” concerning Lebanon after the Zionist regime accused Hezbollah movement of firing a rocket that killed a dozen people in the town of the Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
In a statement on Sunday, spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Nasser Kan’ani said while Hezbollah and some senior Lebanese officials rejected outright their responsibility for the attack, the Israeli regime is using Majdal Shams incident as an “excuse” and fabricating an “unrealistic scenario” to distract the world from its war crimes in Gaza, Press TV reports.
“After ten months of mass killing in the Gaza Strip and massacre of Palestinian children and women, the apartheid Israeli regime is trying to distract public opinion and global attention from its wide-ranging crimes in Palestine with a fabricated scenario.
“The Zionist regime lacks the slightest moral credibility to comment and pass judgment on the Majdal Shams incident, and the regime’s allegations against others will be disregarded,” Kan’ani said.
He also urged the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council, to support the stability and security of Lebanon and the region against the adventurism of the “aggressive Zionist regime.”
Nasser Kan’ani warned that any “foolish moves” by the Zionist regime could further destabilize the region, adding that Israel will be definitely and primarily held accountable for the “unforeseeable consequences of such a folly.”
He also advised the US administration to stop supplying Israel with weapons of mass destruction and greeting with applause its criminal prime minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] after ten months of ongoing atrocities against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
