Egypt Daily News – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued a stark warning regarding the potential consequences of an Israeli attack on Lebanon, following a missile strike that Israel has attributed to Lebanese Hezbollah.

This warning was communicated during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, emphasizing that any Israeli aggression towards Lebanon would have serious repercussions.

The backdrop of this escalation involves a missile strike from Lebanon that targeted Majdal Shams, a Druze town in the occupied Golan Heights, resulting in the deaths of 12 young men.

Hezbollah has denied any involvement in the attack, despite Israeli accusations. The situation has escalated tensions in the region, raising concerns about a wider conflict.

Currently, conflicts between Hezbollah and Israel are intensifying, coinciding with the ongoing war in Gaza, marking the most severe clashes along Lebanon’s southern border since the 2006 conflict.

Both Hezbollah and Hamas are part of a coalition known as the “Axis of Resistance,” which comprises various factions aligned with Iran. The situation remains precarious as exchanges of fire continue and diplomatic communications highlight the urgent need for de-escalation.
