The mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations in a statement said Hezbollah is capable of defending itself and Lebanon.
“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,” the mission said on its X
account
“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.”
Hezbollah and the Israeli occupation army have been exchanging fire on a daily basis since the beginning of the regime’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of more than 37,500 Palestinians – mostly women and children.
Tensions between the two sides have been intensified in recent weeks especially after the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander by Israel last week.
