Iran mission to UN: All options on table if Israel wages war on Lebanon

Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations has dismissed Israel’s threats of launching a war on Lebanon as “psychological warfare”, stressing that all options, including full involvement of all resistance groups in West Asia, are on the table in case of such military aggression.

“Albeit Iran deems as psychological warfare the Zionist regime’s propaganda about intending to attack Lebanon, should it embark on full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue. All options, incl. the full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, are on the table,” the mission said in a post published on its official X account on Saturday.

Earlier this week, the secretary general of Iraq’s Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq resistance group warned Israel against waging a new war on Lebanon, emphasizing that the strategic interests of its main ally, the United States, in West Asia will be targeted in such a case.

“If America continues to support the usurping Israeli regime, and the Zionist enemy expands its assaults on Lebanon and Hezbollah, Washington’s interests in the region and Iraq will be in jeopardy,” Qais al-Khazali said.

Thousands of regional resistance fighters say ready to join Hezbollah in case of war with Israel

Anti-terrorism volunteer groups in West Asia voice their readiness to fight alongside the Hezbollah resistance movement in case of an Israeli war on Lebanon.

The Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq chief stated that the occupying Israeli regime and its extremist right-wing administration led by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be of any benefit to the United States, apparently questioning Washington’s full-fledged support for the Tel Aviv regime.

Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year, shortly after the regime launched a genocidal aggression against the Gaza Strip following a surprise operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group.

Hezbollah has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed at least 37,765 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 86,429 others.

Hezbollah officials have repeatedly said they do not want a war with Israel but if it happens they are ready.

Game over: Hezbollah drone footage of key Israeli sites rattles Tel Aviv regime

While the Israeli regime threatens Lebanon with a full-scale invasion, Hezbollah puts words into action and rattles the Israeli military apparatus with a drone footage.

Hezbollah officials have repeatedly said they do not want a war with Israel but if it happens they are ready.

Lebanon’s Grand Shia Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan says Hezbollah has a massive arsenal of missiles of different types, warning that the resistance movement would fire up to half a million missiles toward the Israeli-occupied territories in case of a new war on Lebanon. 

“In case of an open war between Lebanon and Israel, the latter should expect the launch of some 500,000 missiles [from southern Lebanon into the occupied lands]. The destructive power of these missiles can send the occupying regime back to 70 years ago,” Qabalan noted.
