News - Middle East: Iran warns against the “dangerous consequences” of Israel’s new “adventurism” in Lebanon, following the regime’s extensive airstrikes on Lebanese towns and villages.

Lebanon's health ministry said Israeli strikes on southern towns and villages since Monday morning killed 274 people and wounded over 1000 others, in the worst toll by far in nearly a year of cross-border clashes between the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah and Israel.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani on Monday vehemently denounced Israel’s large-scale aggression on residential areas in south Lebanon and the killing of hundreds of its defenseless people as insane.

He lashed out at the United States and some Western supporters of Israel for keeping silent and even supporting the regime.

He cautioned that Israel continues its criminal acts against the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip and seeks to drag the entire region into a war.
