Islamic Republic of Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has warned that “any preemptive measure” by ‘resistance’ leaders against Israel is “possible in the coming hours” and said that Israel will not be allowed to take any action it wants in the region, Iranian news agency IRNA has reported.

“All possible options and scenarios are there for Hezbollah. Everything has been considered correctly in their calculations and leaders of the Resistance will not allow the Zionist regime to take any action in the region. Any preemptive measure is possible in the coming hours,” Abdollahian said, according to IRNA.

The Iranian minister also referred to his meetings with Islamic terror group Hezbollah leaders, including its Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, over the past few days. He said that ‘resistance leaders’ were all of the opinion that they would give a chance to political situations if any were reached. However, “any action is possible” if Israel continues its ‘war crimes against civilians’.

He further said that the ‘resistance front’ has the capability of “long-term wars with the enemy” and the expansion of the ongoing conflict will bring a change to the map of Israel.

Iran does not support the expansion of the conflict. However, it is possible that Iran enters the war, as no party can remain indifferent to the ongoing situation, he added.
