Iran's mission to the United Nations warned on Friday that any misguided move by "Israel" aimed at attacking Lebanon could trigger a new regional conflict, inevitably leading to the devastating destruction of Lebanon's vital infrastructure.

"Any imprudent decision by the occupying Israeli regime to save itself could plunge the region into a new war, the consequence of which would be the destruction of Lebanon's infrastructure as well as that of the 1948 occupied territories. Undoubtedly, this war will have one ultimate loser, which is the Zionist regime," the Iranian mission to the United Nations said in a statement via X.

The statement affirmed that the Lebanese Resistance possesses the capacity to protect both itself and Lebanon.

"[P]erhaps the time for the self-annihilation of this illegitimate regime has come," the statement said.

This statement follows US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's restatement of the US' unwavering support for "Israel's" security and stressed the necessity of preventing any further escalation between "Israel" and Lebanon.

On Tuesday, Blinken said that reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza would enhance prospects for a diplomatic solution on the Lebanese front, which is the quickest solution. 

But he also alleged Hamas was responsible for causing delays, stating, "So we're working to see if we can bridge the gaps that Hamas is now created by not saying yes to the proposal that everyone else had agreed to that was endorsed by the UN Security Council, countries around the world, and we have the negotiators, the mediators, Egypt, Qatar and particularly working on this to see if we can bridge the gap."

On Tuesday, "Israel" claimed it had authorized and finalized operational plans for a land and air offensive in Lebanon.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz later claimed that "Israel" was nearing a decision to "change the rules" regarding Hezbollah and Lebanon, warning of a comprehensive conflict and significant repercussions for Hezbollah.

Tensions escalated on the Palestinian-Lebanese border following the start of the war on Gaza in October 2023.

Since then, Israeli forces and Hezbollah, which supports Palestinian factions in their war with "Israel", have engaged in almost daily exchanges of fire across the border.
