TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says he has told his British counterpart David Lammy that enablers of Israel are “legally” tasked to contain this regime in its aggression of Lebanon before it is “too late”.

The two chief diplomats held talks as the annual gathering of the UN General Assembly is underway in New York .

“In meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, I explicitly warned of disastrous consequences of the Israeli regime’s ongoing aggression against Lebanon. Israeli attacks must cease immediately to avoid unprecedented risk of all-out catastrophe in region,” Araghchi wrote on X.

The Iranian foreign minister added, “Israel’s supporters and enablers are legally and morally responsible to act before it is too late.”

Israel's war on the Gaza Strip which started in October last year is spreading to Lebanon.

In just a week, Israel has killed hundreds and injured thousands in Lebanon. 

The Western countries, especially the United States, have been supplying highly sophisticated arms to Israel and defended it at international organizations, including the United Nations.
