israelinfo: Israel will strike Iran if Hezbollah decides to open a second front. Economy Minister Nir Barkat said this in an interview published on Sunday by the British edition of the Daily Mail.

Barkat said that in this case Israel would strike at the "head of the snake" and "demolish the Iranian ayatollahs from the face of the earth."

"Iran plans to attack Israel on all fronts. If they do this, we will respond not only on these fronts, but we will also reach the head of the snake, that is, Iran," the Israeli minister said threateningly. "The ayatollahs in Iran will not sleep peacefully — we will make them pay a heavy price for this if, God forbid, they open the northern front. "Hezbollah and Hamas will pay a big price, but it's not enough," continued Nir Barkat, a former mayor of Jerusalem. - When will this happen? When we decide."

The words were made against the background of the emerging coordination between the states of the anti-Western axis: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov intends to fly to Tehran tomorrow from Pyongyang, where he is currently on an official visit.

The "temperature" on the northern border of Israel is slowly but surely rising — shootings are becoming more frequent and more intense, there are more dead and wounded on both sides, and the Lebanese media claim that the range of attacks on Lebanese territory is increasing.
