Lebanon PM says Beirut won’t let anyone drag country into war

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam says Beirut won’t let anyone drag the country into war, amid concerns that Iran’s Lebanese proxy Hezbollah will strike Israel following the US-Israeli attacks in Iran this morning.

“I urge all Lebanese to act wisely and patriotically, placing the interests of Lebanon over any other consideration,” Salam writes on X. “I repeat that we won’t let anyone drag the country to adventures that threaten its security and unity.”
