Hezbollah: Will Not Intervene in Case of 'Limited' US Strikes on Iran

Hezbollah in Lebanon will not intervene militarily in the event of "limited" US strikes against Iran, but will consider any attack on Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei a "red line," a source in the Iranian-backed organization told AFP today. Lebanese authorities fear Hezbollah's involvement in a potential regional war that could be triggered by US strikes against Iran. "In the event of limited US strikes against Iran, Hezbollah's position will be not to intervene militarily," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The Hezbollah statement highlights the sensitivity of the situation in the region and the potential for escalation. Protecting Ali Khamenei is a top priority for the organization, and any attack against him could lead to unpredictable consequences.
