A spokesperson for Hezbollah told Newsweek that the Iran-aligned Lebanese militant group did not have immediate plans to retaliate against Israel and the United States after President Donald Trump ordered direct U.S. strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.

"Iran is a strong country capable of defending itself, logic dictates that it can confront America and Israel," a Hezbollah spokesperson said in a message to Newsweek late Saturday. "Hezbollah remains committed to all matters agreed upon since the ceasefire."

Hezbollah signed a ceasefire with Israel last November, just over a year after the Palestinian Hamas movement launched a surprise attack against Israel, sparking a regional conflict that drew in the Iran-led Axis of Resistance coalition.

Israel and Hezbollah have since continued to accuse one another of violating the truce. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out strikes in recent days against the group's leadership, special forces and military infrastructure in Lebanon, citing "intelligence indicating Hezbollah's attempts to rebuild its capabilities."

3. Israel wrecked the Hezbollah command structure

and the Lebanese Army is currently in the process of disarming the Hezbollah militias. Not much they can do nowadays.

4. Iran WAS a strong country,

but, except for it's missiles and drones, their military is obsolete, their Navy is a fucking joke, they do have a large Army, but they don't have the airlift capacity to move those troops and equipment, their AF is a bunch of 3rd and 4th Gen fighters which cannot match any modern AF.

Hizbollah, despite what they're saying, has been decimated by Israel and are in no condition to seriously threaten anyone beyond terror attacks.
