Iran Press/ America: According to Israel's Channel 12, the warning comes as tensions escalate following Hezbollah’s recent retaliatory attacks on Israeli positions. However, the report did not provide further specifics regarding the discussions between the US and Israeli officials.
Last week, the US Department of Defense announced an extension of the deployment of two American aircraft carrier strike groups in the region, aimed at defending Israel. These forces were initially deployed as a show of support amid the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza.
In a phone call between US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, both officials reportedly discussed the situation along the occupied territories' northern border with Lebanon, where Hezbollah, the Lebanese resistance movement, has intensified attacks in support of Gaza.
The Pentagon reiterated the US's steadfast commitment to Israel. Secretary Austin emphasized ongoing US support, while also underscoring the need for stability in the volatile region.
Hezbollah has stepped up its retaliatory attacks in response to Israel's assassination of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut, Lebanon.
