The United States has issued a stern warning to senior Lebanese officials regarding potential intervention by Hezbollah in a conflict involving Iran. According to a report by the Lebanese news outlet Al-Anbaa, American authorities clarified that if Hezbollah joins the fighting alongside Iran, whether Israel acts alone or with U.S. support, the Israeli response would be exceptionally severe.
The U.S. message explicitly stated that in the event of Hezbollah's involvement, Israel would target the Dahieh district in southern Beirut, considered a major stronghold of the organization. Furthermore, Israel is expected to expand its control in southern Lebanon, a move that could significantly escalate the northern border conflict.

These discreet discussions aim to persuade the terrorist organization's leadership to avoid a "new and destructive adventure for Lebanon," due to fears of severe repercussions from another conflict with Israel.
