Iran says will back Lebanon by 'all means' if war escalates
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Wednesday that the Middle East was facing a "full-scale catastrophe" and warned Tehran would back Lebanon by "all means" if Israel escalated its offensive against Hezbollah.
"The region is on the brink of a full-scale catastrophe. If unchecked, the world will face catastrophic consequences," he said at the United Nations, adding that Iran would "stand with the people of Lebanon with all means."
