Lebanese government source: Iran attempted to link Lebanon front with deterrence equation — thwarted by military developments and US intervention

The statement, reported via Israeli journalist Sapir Lipkin, indicates a perception in Beirut that the recent escalation has frustrated Iranian strategic aims on the Lebanese arena.
