There will be heavy consequences if you attack Lebanon, Iran’s New President Warns Israel

Iran’s new President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday warned Israel against attacking Lebanon as tensions soar over a deadly rocket strike in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights.
Irael had blamed Tehran-backed Hezbollah movement for the attack, but it vehemently denied knowledge of it.
“The Zionist regime (Israel) will make a great mistake with heavy consequences if it attacks Lebanon,” Pezeshkian said during a call with French President Emmanuel Macron, according to the Iranian president’s website.
Pezeshkian, who assumed official responsibilities on Sunday after official endorsement from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei, will be sworn into parliament on Tuesday.
Israel had vowed to hit back after the strike killed 12 youths on a football field in Majdal Shams on Saturday, a Druze Arab town in the Golan Heights, which was illegally annexed by Israel

Israel accused Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement of being responsible for the strike, which the militant group denies.

Pezeshkian, in his phone call with Macron, accused Israel of violating “all the international frameworks and laws” in its “crimes” against Palestinians.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani on Sunday warned Israel that any new military “adventures” in Lebanon could lead to “unforeseen consequences” and “the broadening of the scope of instability, insecurity, and war in the region”.

Kanani accused Israel of pinning the blame on Hezbollah “to divert public opinion and world attention from its massive crimes” in the Gaza Strip.

He added that Israel “does not have the least moral authority to comment” on the deaths in Majdal Shams, which Israel seized from Syria in 1967 and later annexed in a move not recognised by the United Nations.

Iran does not recognise Israel and has made support for the Palestinian cause a centrepiece of its foreign policy since 1979.
