Iran has issued a warning to Israel over a possible new army operation against the Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah party in the north of the Jewish state, the Islamic republic's permanent mission to the UN in New York said in a commentary for American publication Newsweek.
"The rulers of the Zionist regime (Israel) and its supporters are acutely aware that — having already failed against [the Palestinian movement] Hamas — they will undoubtedly face a more formidable defeat against Hezbollah, which boasts significantly superior military strength compared to Hamas," the Iranian diplomatic mission said.
The office expressed confidence that Hezbollah is capable of fighting back Israel on its own, without Iran's help. Meanwhile, the blame for the escalation of the crisis in the region will fall on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is allegedly interested in such a development in order to preserve his own power.
