U.S. Iran conflict: Will Hezbollah join the fray?

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri does not seem concerned about a possible spillover of the U.S.-Iran conflict into Lebanon, sources told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper.

The sources said they sensed from Berri's attitude that Hezbollah will not take any action in the event of a strike on Iran.

A report published later in Nidaa al-Watan newspaper claimed that Hezbollah has indeed vowed to Berri not to intervene in any war on Iran.

Lebanon meanwhile has not received any guarantees that Israel would not target the country, despite intensified diplomacy in the past days, Asharq Al-Awsat said.

Iran-backed Hezbollah also did not rule out joining the fray. Its leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said that any attack on Iran would also be an attack on the militants. But later Hezbollah MP Mohammad Raad said after meeting Berri last week that his group is keen on the security and stability of the country.
