Iran's Interim Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani said that the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, which is an active actor in Lebanon militarily and diplomatically, plays a pivotal role in creating a deterrent power in the region during "Israel's" war on Gaza and Lebanon, according to reporters on Wednesday.
That is why Iran’s interim foreign minister warned "Israel" that an all-out war on Lebanon will definitely turn into an eternal hell for its regime, from which it will never return.
Bagheri Kani referred to Iran's diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia, which he discussed last week with Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed bin Abdulkarim El-Khereiji, stating that the mission of strengthening the countries' bilateral relations will be executed once the next Iranian administration comes into power.
The topic of Donald Trump's potential election into office was also raised. Bagheri Kani said that the Islamic Republic is not dependent on the change in the United States administration.
'Detrimental consequences' should 'Israel' attack Lebanon: Iran
On Monday, Iranian Interim Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani warned "Israel" of "detrimental consequences" should the occupation forces escalate their attacks in Lebanon, highlighting Hezbollah's preparedness to fight.
In a phone call with Turkey's Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan, Bagheri Kani said, “They ['Israel'] should know that any new mistake they make in Lebanon will create new conditions at the regional level to the detriment of the Zionists, who will not be able to make up for their strategic defeat by [committing] murder and crime."
He also hailed Hezbollah's unique power and preparedness to deal with "Israel's" ongoing aggression in Lebanon, warning that any act of invasion would be ruinous for the occupation forces.
For his part, Fidan praised Iran's immense support for the Palestinian cause and condemnation of "Israel's" crime in Gaza, adding that the occupation forces' policy is based on the continuation of tensions across the region which will have significant impacts on neighboring countries.
The Iranian minister highlighted that "Israel's" ongoing aggression in Lebanon is a continuation of its crimes in the Gaza Strip, which have revealed its barbaric nature.
