The Israeli occupation has failed to achieve any of its objectives despite four months of genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Friday from the Lebanese capital of Lebanon during a visit to the country.

Amir-Abdollahian, who had just landed at the Beirut International Airport, held a press conference in which he talked about the latest regional developments and his country's support for Lebanon in light of the ongoing regional tensions.

The Iranian Foreign Minister revealed that Tehran had informed the United States of the necessity of not supporting the Israeli occupation in the genocidal war it is waging against the Palestinian people. The continuation of said support, he stressed, support "will only lead to failure."

He also underlined that the Israeli occupation was seeking to entangle Washington in the quagmire of war in the region.

Amir-Abdollahian said he sees that Hezbollah and the resistance in Lebanon "played their influential roles wisely,", going on to underline Iran's support for Lebanon, from its government to its army and Resistance.

"The security of the region stems from that of Lebanon," he underlined.

The top diplomat's visit marks his third since the Israeli onslaught began in Gaza and comes as tensions escalate on Lebanon's southern border, as a result of the Israeli violations and attacks on Lebanon.

Since October 7, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, has supported Palestinian rights, safety, and liberation, and has been carrying out operations to defend Lebanon and Gaza alike.

Hezbollah defends Lebanon, Gaza

Just last night, on Thursday, Hezbollah announced launching an attack targeting the headquarters of the Third Infantry Brigade situated at the Israeli "Ein Zeitim" base, using several Katyusha rockets.

Hezbollah also targeted the "Meron" airbase with Falaq rockets, with several rockets hitting the occupation's strategically significant air traffic base.

The resistance issued a statement affirming that it attacked "Meron" in support of the resilient Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their brave and honorable resistance, as well as in response to the Israeli occupation's attacks on Lebanese villages and civilians, the latest of which was the aggression on the city of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon.

Before the bombing of "Meron" Israeli fighter jets repeatedly violated Lebanese airspace, which was followed by an Israeli drone strike on a car in a commercial street in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatieh.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced that it launched several operations against the Israeli occupation forces, namely targeting the "Ma'aleh Golan" barracks with a Falaq heavy rocket. Additionally, the resistance targeted a building in the settlement of "Metula" where occupation soldiers are stationed, as well as the radar site in the occupied Shebaa Farms, confirming direct hits.
