Alwaght-Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has warned the Israeli regime that its “dangerous” adventurism with its bombing campaign in Syria could result in a military conflict in the region.
“There is adventurism on Israel’s side, and adventurism is always dangerous,” Zarif said in an interview with the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper published on Wednesday.
Iran is in Syria at the invitation of the Syrian government, while Israel is violating Lebanese and Syrian air space, as well as international law, Zarif said.
Asked about the possibility of a military conflict between Iran and Israel, he said he does not see that coming, adding, “but we cannot exclude the possibility.”
In his earlier remarks at the Munich Security Conference, Zarif had accused Israel of looking for war and warned that its actions and those of the United States were increasing the chances of a clash in the region.
In an interview with NBC News during his visit to Munich, Zarif also warned the US and its allies that it would be "suicidal" to go to a war with Iran.
On February 13, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a short video recorded on the sidelines of an anti-Iran meeting in Warsaw, Poland, that the event “is an open meeting with representatives of leading Arab countries that are sitting down together with Israel in order to advance the common interest of war with Iran.”
Meanwhile, Beirut based Al Manar TV has reported that the Israeli regime's army started new drills which manipulate a direct confrontation with Hezbollah forces in an attempt to boost the morale of the Zionist settlers and reinforce their trust in the military’s ability to protect them.
An Israeli military officer stated that Hezbollah elite and reserve troops will be waiting to confront the Zionist army, adding that the rocketry threat posed by the Resistance must be addressed during the upcoming war.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah had stressed that the Zionist settlers are sure of Hezbollah ability to invade Galilee, but that they are not assured of the Israeli army ability to invade Lebanon.
