Iran's Warning of Comprehensive War
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has issued a stark warning regarding the potential for a comprehensive war in the region, which he claims could involve the United States. Araghchi emphasized that any attack on Iran would cross a 'red line' and would be met with a decisive response. He stated, "We have identified all our targets in Israel, and if it attacks us, we will respond in kind and bombard these targets." This statement underscores Iran's readiness to retaliate against any perceived threats to its sovereignty or nuclear facilities.
Israeli Response to Drone Attack
The remarks from Araghchi come in the wake of an incident where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home was reportedly targeted by a drone attack, which Netanyahu attributed to Hezbollah. In a statement, Netanyahu described the attack as an assassination attempt and asserted that it would not deter Israel from pursuing its military objectives. He declared, "We will achieve all the war goals we set, and we will change the security reality in our region for generations." The Israeli government has maintained a silence on the specifics of the attack, citing security protocols.
Denial of Iranian Involvement
In response to accusations of Iranian involvement in the drone attack, Iran's mission to the United Nations firmly denied any connection, attributing the act solely to Hezbollah. This denial highlights ongoing tensions and the complex web of alliances in the region. The Iranian mission stated, "This act was carried out by the Lebanese Hezbollah," distancing Iran from the incident and suggesting that the attack was part of a broader conflict involving multiple actors.
