    Iran has issued a stark warning to Israel about what would happen if the Jewish state launches a full-scale attack on Lebanon in response to strikes from Lebanon-based Hezbollah .

    "Albeit Iran deems as psychological warfare the Zionist regime’s propaganda about intending to attack Lebanon, should it embark on full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue. All options, incl. the full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, are on the table," the Iranian mission to the U.N. said in a post on X.

    Iran has a massive arsenal of weapons, including missiles that can reach up to 2,000 miles away. Hezbollah also has it's own arsenal, including 150,000 rockets and missiles.

    Since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that ignited the most recent conflict in Gaza, Hezbollah has launched over 1,000 attacks on Israel to show solidarity with Hamas. The group was formed in 1982 as a revolt against the occupation of southern Lebanon by Israel. Iran is a major funder of Hezbollah

    The conflict on the Lebanese border is heating up now, however, with U.S. officials weighing in to say they will not stop and Israel attack.

    Diplomats are working to de-escalate the situation, as President Joe Biden met with Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant this week. Gallant said they are not seeking a war with Lebanon but will react to continued provocations. Afterward, the State Department reiterated its travel advisory to the country.
