Ali Bagheri Kani rejected a ceasefire deal proposed by President Biden and warned Israel against launching an all-out war against Lebanon.
Speaking from Beirut, on his first official visit since his predecessor died last month, Iran’s acting foreign minister said Israel will find itself in a quagmire should it launch an all-out war against Hezbollah in Lebanon – a country he described as the “cradle of resistance”.
“If the Americans are honest, then instead of proposing plans under the name of a ceasefire, they must take one step, which is end all aid to the Israeli entity,” Bagheri Kani said in a news conference at the Iranian embassy.
“Only once the aid is cut from the Israeli entity, the entity won’t have the tools and ability to commit crimes against the Palestinians and the war will end.”
