A Hezbollah official told Reuters that the Iranian-backed Lebanon-based group would not unilaterally launch an attack on Israel to support Tehran.

“Hezbollah will not launch its own attack against Israel in retaliation for its attacks on Iran,” the official said.

Meanwhile, in a statement, Hezbollah condemned the Israeli attack on Iran, calling it a dangerous escalation by an enemy that understands only the language of “death, fire and destruction” without mentioning whether it intends to respond in support of the Islamic Republic.
