In a fiery speech at the UN General Assembly, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian did not hold back in accusing Israel of “insane barbarism” in Lebanon. As a staunch supporter of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, Iran’s leader called for an end to Israel’s actions before it escalates into a larger conflict that could engulf the entire region.
Meanwhile, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also weighed in on the situation, stating that Israel’s targeted killings of top Hezbollah commanders would not bring the Iran-backed militant group to its knees.
The tensions between Iran and Israel have been ongoing for decades, with both countries engaging in a war of words and occasional military actions. The recent accusations and threats made by President Pezeshkian highlight the deep-rooted animosity between the two nations.
As the situation in the Middle East continues to be volatile, it remains to be seen how Israel will respond to the accusations made by Iran’s leaders. The international community will be closely monitoring developments in the region in order to prevent a further escalation of hostilities.
