Lebanon is receiving sweeping and unprecedented warnings from Washington, as well as Western and Arab nations, cautioning against Hezbollah's involvement in a potential conflict between Israel and Iran. This was reported Monday by the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, which is affiliated with Hezbollah. According to the report, messages conveyed to Beirut unequivocally state that Hezbollah's joining the fighting would be met with a broad Israeli response that would "break all the rules." Against this backdrop, the U.S. and other countries are exerting heavy pressure on Lebanese state institutions, particularly the Lebanese army, to increase supervision at border crossings, prevent arms smuggling, and limit the organization's actions. The goal is to prevent Hezbollah from dragging Lebanon into a regional war.
In parallel with these warnings, the Lebanese newspaper noted that the American administration has set October 20 as the date for a trilateral military meeting in Tampa, Florida, involving representatives from Lebanon and Israel. According to sources cited in the report, the timing of this meeting and the American efforts are directly linked to fears of a renewed confrontation with Tehran. Washington and Jerusalem aim to concentrate efforts against Iran and prevent the opening of a parallel front from the north. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun confirmed that his country will send a military delegation and demand a halt to Israeli escalation, while the U.S. is focusing solely on operational coordination, not political negotiations.
