Lebanese Prime Minister Warns Against Involving Country in Regional Conflicts

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam warned against dragging Lebanon into conflicts that could threaten its security and unity, indirectly addressing the Iran-backed group Hezbollah. His statement followed recent strikes by Israel and the United States on Iran amid regional tensions. Salam urged all Lebanese to prioritize the country's interests. Israel has reportedly warned Lebanon of severe retaliation if Hezbollah engages in a U.S.-Iran conflict, recalling heavy strikes against Hezbollah in 2024.
