A Hezbollah official said Wednesday that the Lebanese militant group would not intervene militarily in the event of “limited” US strikes on its backer Iran, but would consider any attack against supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei a “red line,” APA reports.
Lebanese authorities fear that Hezbollah would become involved if a potential US attack on Iran triggered a regional war, but the official told AFP on condition of anonymity: “In the event of limited US strikes on Iran, Hezbollah’s position will be to not intervene militarily.”
