UNITED NATIONS (IP) — The Iranian mission to the United Nations issued a stern warning to Israel, stating that a full-scale attack on Lebanon would trigger a devastating war of annihilation.

Iran PressAmerica: "Although Iran deems the Zionist regime's propaganda about intending to attack Lebanon as psychological warfare, should it embark on full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue," the mission said in a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. "All options, including the full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, are on the table."

The warning comes amid heightened tensions in the region, as Israel continues its ongoing operation against Hamas in Gaza. In mid-June, the Israeli military approved an operational plan for a potential offensive in Lebanon, targeting the forces of Hezbollah.

The Iranian mission's statement suggests that Iran is prepared to support the Lebanese group in the event of an Israeli attack.
