Iran warns of ‘consequences’ as Israel says Hezbollah ‘crossed all red lines’

Iran warned Israel on Sunday that any new military “adventures” in Lebanon could lead to “unforeseen consequences,” as Israel vowed a harsh response to a rocket attack by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror group that killed 12 children in the Druze town of Majdal Shams a day earlier.

“Any ignorant action of the Zionist regime can lead to the broadening of the scope of instability, insecurity and war in the region,” said Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani, adding that Israel would be responsible for “the unforeseen consequences and reactions to such stupid behavior.”

The Israel Defense Forces struck a series of Hezbollah targets overnight Saturday, including weapon depots and other infrastructure near Tyre and across southern Lebanon.

In addition to Hezbollah, Iran supports the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip, which has been at war with Israel since its cross-border assault on October 7, when thousands of terrorists killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.

Iran also supports the Houthi rebels in Yemen, as well as militias in Iraq and Syria, all of which have targeted Israel and its allies since the war’s start. READ MORE
