The deputy leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah has warned that any country that launches a military attack against Iran will pay a “heavy price."
“Israel or the United States cannot just bomb Iran and (expect) things to continue normally," Sheikh Naim Qassem told Reuters on Thursday.
“Any attack on Iran could ignite the whole region and the assailant will pay a heavy price whether it is Israel or the United States," he added.
He warned that any countries which allow the US to use its territory for an attack on Iran would also face reprisals.
Israel has repeatedly declared its determination to halt Iran's uranium enrichment program, even through military means.
Israel, which is believed to possess nuclear arms, accuses Iran of pursuing a military nuclear program. Iran, a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty has repeatedly declared that its nuclear program is aimed at peaceful purposes.
