Qassem says Hezbollah supports any Iranian response against Israel
Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem warned Friday that Israel’s massive attack on Iran “will have major repercussions on the region’s stability, seeing as it will not pass without a response and punishment.”
Extending condolences to Tehran over the death of a host of its top military leaders, Qassem added: “We in Hezbollah and our Islamic resistance and mujahid people are holding onto our approach and resistance, and we support the Islamic Republic of Iran in its rights and stance, and in any steps and measures it takes to defend itself and choices.”
A Hezbollah official had earlier told Reuters that the Iran-backed group will not unilaterally launch an attack on Israel in support of Tehran.
“Hezbollah will not initiate its own attack on Israel in retaliation for Israel’s strikes,” the official said.

Israel’s massive attack on Iran is not Qassem's fight.
If Hezbollah cannot prioritize its duty of loyalty to the country and president where members live, then it deserves what would surely and militarily follow ... the only question in that case being "which military?"
"Stay down, dog"
