Iran Warns US of Forceful Response to Any Israeli Offensive on Lebanon’s Ali Taher Ridge
Iran has reportedly warned the United States that it would respond forcefully if Israel launches a major offensive on the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon. Regional officials told Reuters that Iranian Revolutionary Guard personnel may be positioned there alongside Hezbollah fighters. Israel says the ridge contains a key Hezbollah underground command facility and has made the area a major military focus. Hezbollah has not confirmed the reported Iranian presence but says any large-scale Israeli assault could trigger a wider conflict. The reports have not been independently verified, and US officials disputed claims that Washington pressured Israel to delay an operation. The standoff continues despite the ceasefire framework between Israel and Lebanon.
