Iran’s UN Mission said on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday that if Israel attacks Lebanon, where the terrorist organization Hezbollah is based, with “full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue.”
“All options, including the full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, are on the table,” it said in the post.
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 report came only days after the Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani was told by his German counterpart that Iran needed to help prevent a further escalation of the situation in the Middle East.
How long would it take to take down Hezbollah?
The request came only a few days after National Unity Party head Benny Gantz made a claim stating that Israel can destroy Hezbollah’s military in days.
“We can bring Lebanon completely into the dark, and take apart Hezbollah’s power in days,” he said at the at the 21st Herzliya Conference at Reichman University.
A Sunday report by The Telegraph stated that Iran was supplying powerful rockets to Hezbollah through Beirut’s Rafic Al Hariri International Airport, and that recent months saw a significant increase in using the airport for storing strategic weapons.
