Hezbollah sees U.S. war on Iran as unlikely-report

The Iran-backed Lebanese Shi’ite group Hezbollah believes a U.S. war on Iran is unlikely for reasons including Iran’s strong defensive capabilities, Hezbollah’s deputy leader said in an interview published on Thursday.

 

Sheikh Naim Qassem told Lebanon’s al-Joumhouria newspaper U.S. President Donald Trump “does not need war”.

 

“He does not benefit from a war that he can start but whose results he cannot control and which might begin with Iran but may be accompanied by the region being set on fire,” he said.
