It also mentions recent incidents\u2063 in the region, including Hezbollah firing rockets into northern Israel and Hamas carrying out\u2063 a terrorist attack. The article highlights the tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, as well as the warning from Iran about a potential &#8220;obliterating war&#8221; if Israel escalates the conflict. There is also mention of the U.N. Security Council resolution \u2063violated by Hezbollah. The article concludes by \u200bdiscussing the \u200bpotential for Israel to shift its focus from the conflict in Gaza to a potential confrontation with \u2064Hezbollah in the north.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">\n<div class=\"tdb-search-form-inner\"><input class=\"tdb-head-search-form-input\" placeholder=\" \" type=\"text\" value name=\"s\" autocomplete=\"off\"><button class=\"wpb_button wpb_btn-inverse btn tdb-head-search-form-btn\" title=\"Search\" type=\"submit\"><span>Search<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Iranian official warns it will use \u2018all means\u2019 to back Hezbollah<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-author-name-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-author-by\">By<\/span> <a class=\"tdb-author-name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/mike-brest\/\">Mike Brest<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><time class=\"entry-date updated td-module-date\" datetime=\"2024-07-02T11:33:13-04:00\">July 2, 2024 11:33 am<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1690681\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>An adviser to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Iranian<\/a> Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said that Tehran could come to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hezbollah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Hezbollah\u2019s<\/a> backing if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Israel\">Israel<\/a> were to launch a preemptive ground invasion into Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>Kamal Kharrazi, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/secretary-of-state-blinken-winces-as-biden-throws-year-of-diplomacy-down-the-toilet\/\" title=\"Secretary of State Blinken Winces as Biden Throws Year of Diplomacy Down the Toilet\">foreign affairs adviser<\/a> to the supreme leader, told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/64507ebb-bbb6-4c67-a954-b63e1aa49b77\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Financial Times\"><em>Financial Times<\/em><\/a>  that Iran and its \u201caxis of resistance,\u201d a title given to the proxy forces the country supports and funds in the Middle East, would come to Hezbollah\u2019s defense with \u201call means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll Lebanese people, Arab countries, and members of the axis of resistance will support <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/lebanon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Lebanon<\/a> against Israel,\u201d he said, though he added a regional conflict \u201cis not in the interest of anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere would be a chance of expansion of the war to the whole region, in which all countries including Iran would become engaged.
