Hezbollah says no plans to attack Israel or US after American strikes on Iran

Hezbollah will not attack either Israel or the US, a spokesman for the Iran-backed terror group tells Newsweek after US President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“Iran is a strong country capable of defending itself, logic dictates that it can confront America and Israel,” says the official. “Hezbollah remains committed to all matters agreed upon since the ceasefire.”

“Despite the attacks carried out by the Israeli enemy,” continues the spokesman, “the party has remained committed to the agreement.”

Hezbollah signed a ceasefire with Israel in November after Israeli strikes took out the organization’s leadership and IDF ground forces conquered Lebanese border towns. It indicated at the outset of Israel’s air campaign against Iran that it was not going to get involved.
