Iran’s advisor to the Leader, Kharrazi, warned that an Israeli attack could lead to a regional war supported by Iran and the “Axis of Resistance”. While Iran prefers to avoid a large-scale conflict, backing Hezbollah would be inevitable if the situation escalates. Kharrazi called on the US to pressure Israel to prevent further tensions, emphasizing that war expansion is not beneficial for any party.
Amidst Iran’s upcoming presidential election, Kharrazi assured that Iran’s foreign policy remains consistent under Ayatollah Khamenei’s guidance. He also expressed Iran’s readiness for indirect talks with the US regarding the nuclear program to revive the JCPOA. However, if the West triggers UN sanctions, Iran would strongly react, potentially increasing uranium enrichment.
These statements highlight the delicate balance of power in the region and the importance of diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation. The situation underscores the need for dialogue and cooperation to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East.
