Iran has vowed to fully support Hezbollah if Israel launches a large-scale attack on the Lebanese group. However, Iran's foreign affairs adviser Kamal Kharrazi emphasizes that Tehran is not seeking a regional war. This stance reflects Iran's complex role in the 'axis of resistance' against US and Israeli influence. The situation stems from the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which has heightened regional tensions. While Iran pledges support, it prefers to avoid direct military confrontation, instead relying on allied militant groups if retaliation becomes necessary.

developed to deal with Iran's nuclear program, stressing
that the terms of the original 2015 deal expire next year.

(JCPoA) originally saw Western economic
sanctions lifted in exchange for strong
controls over Iran's nuclear program.

since gradually restricted access for U.N. inspectors,
while also vastly boosting its stock of enriched uranium. .
