Lebanon: Requests for Guarantees from Hezbollah Regarding US Targets

Diplomats have requested guarantees from Hezbollah in Lebanon that it will not launch attacks against US targets in the event of a military operation by the US or Israel against Iran. Hezbollah was approached through diplomatic channels last week. However, Hezbollah avoided giving clear guarantees, indicating that it would not take action unless the attack on Iran constitutes an 'existential threat' to the Iranian leadership. This stance suggests a cautious approach by Hezbollah, which appears to be waiting to see the scale and nature of any potential attack on Iran before deciding on its response.
