Iran has cautioned the United States that any broad military offensive by Israel against Ali al-Tahir hill in southern Lebanon will trigger a strong Iranian response, Shehab Wire reported. Iranian military personnel are positioned alongside Hezbollah fighters in the area, according to the agency.
The warning comes as tensions remain elevated along the Israel-Lebanon border. Iran's statement makes explicit the presence of its forces in the sector and signals readiness to defend them should Israel pursue military operations there. The threat of Iranian retaliation could complicate any potential Israeli military campaign in the region where multiple armed groups maintain positions.
