A member of Hezbollah announced that the group would refrain from military intervention if the U.S. were to conduct 'limited' strikes against Iran. The official, who chose to remain anonymous, emphasized that Hezbollah's stance is to avoid involvement under these circumstances. However, he clearly articulated that should the strikes aim at the supreme leader Ali Khamenei or intend to bring down the Iranian regime, the situation would escalate significantly. This he termed a 'red line' that Hezbollah could not ignore.

Moreover, the official conveyed that any attack against Khamenei would be perceived as an existential threat, and Hezbollah's response would not be limited but would result in full-scale conflict. He argued that an attempt to overthrow Iran's regime would likely provoke a proactive response from Israel against Lebanon, indicating the broader regional ramifications of such military actions. The warning highlights the tense atmosphere in the Middle East and the challenges surrounding U.S.-Iran negotiations.

These remarks come at a time when the U.S. has deployed a substantial military presence in the Gulf and Middle East, amidst ongoing threats of an attack on Tehran if diplomatic discussions do not yield results. The complexity of regional politics and the delicate balance of power suggest that any military escalation could have dire consequences, and Hezbollah's involvement would further complicate the already fragile situation in the Middle East.
