Israeli foreign minister issues threat to Iran, Hezbollah

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has responded to what he said was a threat by Iran to destroy Israel if it attacks Hezbollah in Lebanon.

"My response to Iran is clear: If Hezbollah does not cease its fire and withdraw from southern Lebanon, we will act against it with full force until security is restored and residents can return to their homes," he said in a post on X.

"A regime that threatens destruction deserves to be destroyed," Katz added.
