KAC thus commented after this militant movement, which is an ally of the Islamic Republic, in connection with the latest escalation between Israel and Iran declared that will act “as he sees fit”.
“I suggest that the Lebanese representative (Iran) be cautious and understand that Israel has lost patience with the terrorists who threaten him,” KAC stated in a statement. At the same time, he added that “if there is terrorism, there will be no Hezbollah”. Hezbollah condemned Israeli attacks on Iran that Israel started on Friday, but did not comment on the intention to intervene to support Tehran.
