Mohsen Rezaei, a military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, claimed in a Telegram post that Iran threatened Israel over its military actions in Lebanon, and that this threat caused Israel to withdraw. He warned that if Israel had advanced toward the Dahieh neighborhood in Beirut, all Iran's missiles would have been ready to turn northern Israel into 'a hell far worse than the 40-day war.' a monitored channel indicates this is a single-source claim, and its accuracy is unverified.
