- Hezbollah will not intervene in a potential Iran-U.S. conflict, according to its leadership.
- Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister stated Tehran would not request Hezbollah's intervention.
- Iran believes it can manage a conflict with the U.S. independently.

- Lebanon's Shiite community may oppose Hezbollah fighting for Iran again.
Hezbollah's leadership has indicated it does not plan to intervene on Tehran's behalf in a potential conflict between Iran and the United States, according to the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat. The report states that during a recent visit to Beirut, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Saied Khatibzadeh informed members of the Amal movement and Hezbollah that Tehran would not request Hezbollah's involvement in the event of a U.S. strike, as the Islamic Republic believes it can manage the situation independently.
Lebanese parliamentary sources suggest Tehran has adopted a clear stance: Hezbollah's assistance will not be sought. This decision is reportedly due to the disparity in capabilities between Hezbollah and Israel, and the belief that Hezbollah's intervention would not alter the conflict's outcome. Furthermore, the Shiite community in Lebanon is expected to voice opposition if the group were to engage in another war on Iran's behalf.
