Iran warns US against Israeli attack on south Lebanon ridge held by Hezbollah: Report
Iran conveyed the warning through Oman in mid-August, and U.S. pressure reportedly led Israel to postpone a planned assault on the ridge.
- On September 3, Iran warned the United States that it would respond forcefully to an Israeli offensive on a southern Lebanon ridge where Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps personnel are positioned alongside Hezbollah fighters.
- The Ali al-Taher ridge serves as a contested underground command center for Hezbollah, with over a dozen Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps members reportedly holed up inside alongside Hezbollah fighters.
- Israel identified the ridge as one of its "primary operational focuses," conducting drone strikes against Hezbollah over the last week while besieging personnel trapped underground without food or water supplies.
- Delivered via Oman, the message cites the Islamabad Agreement, warning that territorial expansion constitutes a major violation; U.S. pressure previously caused Israel to delay storming the site around mid-August.
- Despite the warnings, Lebanese security officials indicate an Israeli military operation to capture the ridge remains possible in the coming weeks as the regional war enters its seventh month.
