Hezbollah tells Iran it would fight alone should war with Israel erupt: Reuters

Quoting several sources, Reuters reports that Esmail Qaani, the head of Iran's Quds Force, visited Beirut in February and met with Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah for at least the third time since the start of Israel's war on Gaza.

One of the focal points of the meeting was the scenario of a full-scale Israeli war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, beyond the border skirmishes that have taken place on a near-daily basis since 8 October.

All seven sources, which Reuters says include "Iranians within the inner circle of power," said that Nasrallah reassured Qaani he did not want Iran sucked into any confrontation with Israel or the US should a wider conflict erupt.

"This is our fight," he said, according to one source.
