TEHRAN- The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson has stated that the appeasement of Zionist actions over the past year has strengthened the regime's resolve to pursue its genocidal agenda.

Nasser Kanaani criticized the extensive the Zionist regime’s airstrikes on civilian areas in southern Lebanon on Monday, asserting that these acts of aggression occur amidst the silence and even complicity of the United States and certain other Western countries.

The spokesperson cautioned against the “new adventurism” of the Zionist regime in Lebanon, warning it could spread the conflict throughout the entire region.

The ongoing Israeli actions in Palestine and their extension into Lebanon pose a significant threat to both regional and international peace, Kanaani emphasized, demanding an immediate intervention from the UN Security Council to prevent a wider regional conflict. 

The Gaza war has inflicted severe consequences on the Palestinian population, resulting in casualties that reach the tens of thousands.

According to Al Jazeera, the death toll among Palestinian Gazans stands at a minimum of 41,467, which includes approximately 16,500 children, while injuries exceed 95,497. Furthermore, there are reports of more than 10,000 Palestinians who are currently missing.

The Israeli military also indicated on Tuesday that it has targeted over 1,600 Hezbollah positions in Lebanon in the last 48 hours, encompassing rocket launchers, command centers, and other facilities. 

Military analysts believed that Israel's operations in Lebanon during the initial year of the Gaza conflict could escalate into a significant and perilous regional war, potentially triggering geopolitical tensions throughout West Asia.
