A statement attributed to Lebanese residents opposing Iran's influence warns that if the conflict resumes, it will be because Iran has exhausted all political and peaceful avenues. The statement claims Iran is acting to preserve its own dignity and the rights of southern Lebanese residents.
The statement attributed to Lebanese residents opposed to Iranian influence reflects growing frustration within Lebanon over Tehran's role in the conflict. As The Zioneer has reported, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Salam previously stated that the war is not Lebanon's and accused Iran of using the south as a bargaining chip. Iranian officials have explicitly linked the continuation of U.S. diplomatic talks to an end to the conflict in Lebanon, according to Tasnim News Agency reports. The warning comes as Israeli security assessments indicate that a return to intense fighting with Iran is considered a matter of time.
