Hezbollah Condemns US-Israel Strikes on Iran But Stops Short of Military Pledge

Lebanon's Hezbollah issued a strong condemnation of the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, calling them a 'blatant violation of international law' and warning the enemy 'will be dealt a major blow.' However, Hezbollah stopped short of pledging direct military retaliation, reflecting its current military weakness and Lebanon's domestic political pressure. Lebanese PM Nawaf Salam separately warned he would not allow Lebanon to be dragged into 'adventures that threaten its security.'
