Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat has issued a stern warning, stating that Israel will “cut off the head of the snake” and launch a military strike against Iran if Hezbollah joins the conflict.
Barkat emphasized that Iran “will be wiped off the face of the Earth” if Hezbollah attacks Israel. He further stated that both Lebanon and Hezbollah would pay a heavy price, similar to what Hamas would incur.
The minister made it clear that Israel’s message is unequivocal: it will also target Iranian leaders. “We have a very clear message for our enemies. Look at what is happening in Gaza; you will receive the same treatment if you attack us. We will wipe you off the face of the Earth,” he said.
