Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi on Sunday urged regional and Islamic states to adopt a serious preventive measure to stop the Israeli regime's "crimes."

"Israel intends to exert more pressure on the Lebanese people by misusing current situation in Lebanon and tries to impose its own policies," he added.
