Israel will face “a crushing response from the axis of resistance,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Commander Hossein Salami tells Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday according to state media, after attacks on Lebanese Hezbollah’s communication devices blamed on Israel.

“Such terrorist acts are undoubtedly the result of the Zionist regime’s (Israel) despair and successive failures. This will soon be met with a crushing response from the axis of resistance and we will witness the destruction of this bloodthirsty and criminal regime,” Salami says in his message to Nasrallah.

Iran is Hezbollah’s main sponsor and the axis of resistance refers to Tehran’s terror proxies across the region that are aligned against Israel.

Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon was among those injured when Hezbollah pagers exploded on Tuesday.
