Top Iranian officials warned Saturday that the militant group Hezbollah is poised to join the fight against Israel, vowing that a “huge earthquake” will result from the outfit joining forces with Hamas to open a two-front war.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters he met with Hezbollah leaders and heard firsthand about the group’s readiness to fight against Israel if necessary. He urged Israel to halt its military operations in Gaza immediately.
“I know about the scenarios that Hezbollah has put in place,” the Iranian foreign minister said, according to English-language media accounts of his remarks. “Any step the resistance will take will cause a huge earthquake in the Zionist entity.”
