- Iran warned the US of a major response to an IDF strike in southern Lebanon.
- The target is the Ali Taher ridge, a Hezbollah underground complex.

- Israel denies knowledge of Iranian military presence there.
- Hezbollah continues to operate and attack IDF forces in the area.
Iran has conveyed a stern warning to the United States, stating that a broad Israeli military operation against the underground complex on the Ali Taher ridge in southern Lebanon would trigger a significant Iranian response. The message, delivered last month, underscores Tehran's deep involvement in the region and its commitment to defending Hezbollah positions.
According to regional sources, the fortified underground facility on the ridge is occupied by Hezbollah operatives and at least 12 members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, including two senior officers. However, Israeli security officials have stated that they are unaware of any Iranian military presence in the area. The Ali Taher ridge is a strategically vital area in southeastern Lebanon, where Hezbollah has established an underground command center and weapons depots.
Despite the Israeli military having secured some territory and surrounded many operatives within the tunnel system, Hezbollah continues to operate around the ridge and has launched explosive drones at IDF forces. Hezbollah has publicly declared its intention to respond to any Israeli advance.
