Report: Hezbollah-Aoun dialogue suspended, group won't join Iran war

Political forces agree that the dialogue between President Joseph Aoun and MP Mohammad Raad is currently suspended and fraught with irreconcilable differences, a media report said.

A prominent political source from the Shiite Duo meanwhile told the Asharq al-Awsat newspaper that Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem’s latest threat that Hezbollah might militarily support Iran in the event of a new war is unlikely to be translated into actions, calling them verbal solidarity.

The source emphasized that Qassem had no choice but to say what he said.
