Iran refused to attack Israel despite Hezbollah's request: Reports
Iran reportedly refused to attack Israel despite Hezbollah's request, stating that the "timing wasn't right" as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was then in New York to attend UN General Assembly. Since the last two weeks, Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah have been engaged in the most intense fighting since the 2006 war in Lebanon, resulting in over 500 casualties in Lebanon.
