Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Hezbollah official says the Lebanese terror group will not intervene militarily in the event of “limited” US strikes on its backer Iran, but will consider any attack against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei a “red line.”
Lebanese authorities fear that Hezbollah would become involved if a potential US attack on Iran triggers a regional war, but the official tells AFP on condition of anonymity: “In the event of limited US strikes on Iran, Hezbollah’s position will be to not intervene militarily.”
In recent weeks, the Israeli military has stepped up airstrikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, with assessments indicating that the Iran-backed terror group may join Tehran in a new conflict against Israel.
