Iran warned the United States that it would respond forcefully to an Israeli offensive on the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, where Iranian military personnel are positioned alongside Hezbollah fighters, Reuters reported, citing three officials briefed on the message.
The warning was delivered last month and said any full-scale Israeli offensive on the ridge would be met with a "large-scale Iranian attack," the officials said.
Hezbollah is believed to have an underground command center and weapons stores inside the ridge, which overlooks southeastern Lebanon, according to Lebanese security sources. Israel has described the area as one of its "primary operational focuses."
