Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel fought a brutal month-long war in 2006.
WASHINGTON: A US top general on Monday warned Iran not to get involved in the crisis in Israel and said he did not want the conflict to broaden, as Lebanese armed group Hezbollah fired a salvo of rockets onto northern Israel
Asked what his message for Iran was, General Charles Q Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said: “Not to get involved.” The cross-border violence marked a significant expansion of a conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza to the Israeli-Lebanese border further north.“We want to send a pretty strong message. We do not want this to broaden and the idea is for Iran to get that message loud and clear,” Brown told a small group of reporters traveling with him to Brussels, in his first public comments since being confirmed to the job last month.
