Iran’s mission to the United Nations says that Hezbollah has the capability to defend itself and Lebanon against Israel.
“Any imprudent decision by the occupying Israeli regime to save itself could plunge the region into a new war,” Iran’s UN mission posts on X amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.
“Undoubtedly, this war will have one ultimate loser, which is the Zionist regime. The Lebanese Resistance Movement, Hezbollah, has the capability to defend itself and Lebanon — perhaps the time for the self-annihilation of this illegitimate regime has come,” the post says.
