A Hezbollah official said on Friday the Lebanese armed group backed by Iran would not unilaterally launch its own attack on Israel in response to Israeli strikes on Iran.

Axar.az informs “Hezbollah will not initiate its own attack on Israel in retaliation for Israel’s strikes,” the official told Reuters. A public statement from Hezbollah condemned Israel’s strikes and expressed full solidarity with Iran.

Hezbollah also warned Friday that Israel’s strikes on its main foreign backer Iran “threaten to ignite the region.”

The group, which fought a two-month war with Israel last year, condemned the “brutal Israeli aggression” against Iranian nuclear facilities and scientists and said Israel was “engaging in adventures that threaten to ignite the entire region.”

The Lebanese foreign ministry said it was in talks to “spare” the country from any repercussions following the attack.
