US EditionHezbollah Chief Says Any Attack on Iran Also Targets Group
Hezbollah vows to respond to any attack on Iran, warning regional conflict will escalate and stressing it will not remain neutral amid rising US and Israeli tensions.
- Hezbollah's deputy leader Naim Qassem warned on Monday in a televised solidarity rally that any attack on Iran would be treated as an attack on the group and could ignite the region.
- Hezbollah's longstanding ties to Iran include decades of funding and weapons, while recent US statements last week increased fears of wider conflict and prompted Monday rallies by supporters in Hezbollah strongholds.
- Israel has continued to strike and maintain troops in five south Lebanon positions despite the ceasefire, and Monday's strikes killed three people in Tyre and Kfar Rumman, including Sheikh Ali Noureddine.
- Qassem warned that any killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be an 'assassination of stability' and that Hezbollah would view it as directed at the group, while Beirut insists Hezbollah cannot unilaterally go to war.
- Supporters across Hezbollah areas showed solidarity by displaying Khamenei pictures, waving flags, and chanting anti-US slogans on Monday, while mediators asked if the group would intervene in a US-Israel war with Iran.
