Iran’s Foreign Minister said that the biggest supporter of terrorism, who already backs Hamas and Hezbollah (and the Houthis), would back Hezbollah “with all means” in war with Israel:
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the Middle East is facing a “full-scale catastrophe” and warns Tehran will back Lebanon by “all means” if fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah escalates.
“The region is on the brink of a full-scale catastrophe. If unchecked, the world will face catastrophic consequences,” he tells reporters at the United Nations, adding that Iran would “stand with the people of Lebanon with all means.”
Araqchi also claims Israel has crossed “all red lines” and says the UN Security Council must intervene to restore peace and stability.
This statement is meaningless to me. Iran already backs the terrorists in Lebanon, supplying them rockets and ballistic missiles. Israel is already fighting Iran when they have to defend themselves from both Hamas and Hezbollah.
Maybe Iran wants to send some Iranian soldiers to Lebanon, or maybe they want to fire some surface to surface missiles. That would certainly be a serious escalation. I doubt they want to go that far because they know it won’t go well for them if that happens.
