Iranian state TV aired a warning directed at the US, cautioning that any attack on Iran could have significant regional consequences. The message was delivered by a Lebanese Hezbollah official on Press TV, who suggested that the US hesitates to act due to uncertainty about the aftermath of a potential strike.

The official mentioned that President Trump is either looking to negotiate with Iran or dismantle the current regime but emphasized that hostile actions from the US would not be sufficient to overthrow the ruling Islamic establishment in Iran. He highlighted US efforts to destabilize Iran since the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

Regarding how Hezbollah, a longstanding ally of Iran, would respond to a US attack, the official stated that they would address the situation when it arises, hinting at possible political upheaval in the region.

Tensions have heightened following Trump’s announcement of sending naval forces towards Iran. Reports indicated that a US carrier strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln, along with guided-missile destroyers and submarines armed with Tomahawk missiles, are in proximity to Iran. Additionally, air defense has been bolstered with F-15 fighter jets stationed at US bases in the region.

Iran’s Supreme Leader was reportedly moved to a secure underground location, and the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned the US and Israel to avoid miscalculations. Amid ongoing protests in Iran and a severe government crackdown resulting in thousands of casualties, the US deployment arrives amidst a challenging situation worsened by an internet blackout in the country.
