The Iranian mission to the UNin New York, indicated in a message published on the social network
“If (Israel) launches into large-scale military aggression, a devastating war will ensue.”the Iranian diplomatic mission said. “All options, including the full involvement of all members of the axis of resistance, are on the table,” it said.
The so-called axis of resistance includes pro-Iran actors in the Middle East: the Syrian armed forces, the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah, the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, the Houthi rebels of Yemen and the Shiite militias of Iraqamong other armed groups.
Let us recall that, the day after the surprise attack launched by Hamas against Israel on October 7, Hezbollah opened a second front in northern Israel “in solidarity” with the Palestinian Islamist movement.
Since then, there has been a continuous exchange of fire across the border, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of people on both sides and threatening to escalate into a full-blown conflagration.
Likewise, in recent months Houthi rebels have attacked numerous merchant ships in the Red Sea linked to Israeli interests. The United States in particular, and also the United Kingdom, launched operations in Yemen in response to these attacks.
