"Hezbollah Assures Iran of Willingness to Fight Israel Alone"

Hezbollah leader Nasrallah reassured Iran's Quds Force chief that Hezbollah would fight Israel alone and not drag Iran into a war, amid concerns of a potential Israeli offensive in Lebanon following attacks on Hamas. The meeting highlighted Iran's efforts to avoid major escalation in the region while projecting strength and support for Gaza through allied armed groups. Both Iran and Hezbollah are wary of the grave perils of a wider war in Lebanon and are seeking to avoid being drawn into a conflict with Israel.
