U.S. Warns Hezbollah Against Entering Iran-Israel Conflict

In a pointed diplomatic message, U.S. Special Envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack cautioned Hezbollah against joining the escalating war between Iran and Israel, calling such a move a “very, very, very bad decision.” Speaking from Beirut during his visit to Lebanon, Barrack emphasized that the U.S. strongly opposes any expansion of the conflict, particularly by Tehran-backed Hezbollah.

Barrack, who also serves as the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, met with Lebanese officials including Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a known ally of Hezbollah. While Hezbollah has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran and expressed solidarity with Tehran, it has so far refrained from direct military involvement.

The warning comes amid heightened regional tensions, with both Iran and Israel exchanging missile strikes and the international community urging restraint. Hezbollah, still recovering from heavy losses in last year’s war with Israel, has remained cautious despite its rhetoric.

Barrack reiterated Washington’s support for Lebanon’s sovereignty and the importance of keeping the country out of broader regional hostilities. His visit underscores U.S. efforts to prevent further destabilization in the Middle East.
