Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam reaffirmed the country's position in the face of rising tensions linked to the conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the U.S. on Saturday. Following Israeli and American airstrikes targeting Iran, Salam emphasized that Lebanon would not allow itself to be dragged into what he termed 'adventures' that could threaten national security and unity. His statement reflects the delicate situation Lebanon finds itself in, particularly regarding the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah, which has significant influence in the region.

The backdrop of Salam's remarks includes heightened military actions, with U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran and corresponding missile attacks by Tehran. This series of aggressive exchanges has raised fears about broader regional destabilization and the potential for Hezbollah to escalate its involvement. The Lebanese government's position is crucial, as the repercussions of the Iran-Israel conflict could spill over into its territory, impacting both security and political stability.

In his address, Salam called on Lebanese citizens to exercise wisdom and prioritize the nation's interests during these tumultuous times. By urging unity and patriotism, he aims to mitigate the risks posed by external conflicts and internal divisions, highlighting the importance of focusing on Lebanon’s security and the well-being of its people amidst spiraling violence in the region.
