BEIRUT: Lebanon’s Hezbollah expressed solidarity with Iran on Saturday as it came under attack from the United States and Israel, warning in a statement of dire consequences for the region without saying whether it would get involved.
Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim militia and political party that has fought numerous conflicts with Israel since being established by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in 1982, was severely weakened by Israel in a war in 2024, when its leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed.
Israel had warned Beirut that it would strike Lebanon hard, targeting civilian infrastructure including the airport, if Hezbollah involved itself in any US-Iran war.
In a statement, Hezbollah said the consequences of the US-Israeli plan would “affect everyone without exception if left unchallenged.” “We are confident that the American and Israeli enemy will receive a major blow,” it said.
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said he would not accept anyone dragging Lebanon into “adventures that threaten its security and unity,” a veiled message to Hezbollah.
