Hezbollah won’t interfere in US-Iran conflict: Lebanon
Beirut: Lebanese President Michel Aoun has announced that Lebanon will not accept to be a victim in the conflicts between the US and Iran, a statement by the office of Lebanon’s President said.
“Everybody believes that Hezbollah may interfere in any potential conflict between the US and Iran but I can guarantee that Hezbollah will respect UN Security Council Resolution 1701,” Aoun was quoted as saying by Xinhua news agency.
Aoun said that Hezbollah has its ministers and members in Lebanon’s parliament but this does not mean that Lebanon’s sovereignty is violated by the Shia political party.
The Lebanese President also noted that Hezbollah’s presence has been essential for Lebanon as it succeeded in ending the Israeli occupation for southern Lebanon.
