Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech that "the Americans threatened Lebanon that if the southern front is not stopped, Israel will start a war."
According to him, "Washington's intimidation will not help – neither today nor tomorrow. The one who should be afraid of war is Israel. We have been ready for war for 99 days and are not afraid of it."
Nasrallah also said that the U.S. should also understand that the situation in the Red Sea and the developments in Iraq and Lebanon all depend on stopping the war in Gaza, and added that the U.S. attacks in the Red Sea will harm all maritime traffic.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday he had instructed the military to intensify pressure on Hamas after the Palestinian terrorist group this week rejected an Israeli proposal for another temporary truce, instead demanding a deal to end the war in exchange for the release of hostages.
The past few days have unfolded like a geopolitical drama of historic proportions in Lebanon, where Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Shia militia long considered untouchable, appears to be teetering on the edge of a seismic shift.
Israel has not ruled out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities in the coming months despite President Donald Trump telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. was for now unwilling to support such a move, according to an Israeli official and two other people familiar with the matter.
