Iran’s foreign minister calls on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, warning that the war might expand to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah joins the battle, and that would make Israel suffer “a huge earthquake.”

Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.

Amirabdollahian says he met Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who briefed him on the terror group’s conditions in Lebanon.

“I know about the scenarios that Hezbollah has put in place,” Amirabdollahian says. “Any step the resistance [Hezbollah] will take will cause a huge earthquake in the Zionist entity.”

Amirabdollahian adds: “I want to warn the war criminals and those who support this entity before it’s too late to stop the crimes against civilians in Gaza, because it might be too late in [a] few hours.”
