Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri hinted that Israel will destroy everything and everyone in the region if it wins this war.

"There will be only Israel," he said, in remarks published Tuesday in Annahar, adding that those who are happy shouldn't be.

A civilian U.S. delegation concerned with the U.S. financing of U.N. missions visited military and political officials in Lebanon days ago with the aim of “evaluating the mission of the UNIFIL forces in the South,” al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Iran has few viable options for striking back at Israel, largely because its key regional proxy Hezbollah has been "decapitated," according to Fabian Hinz of the International Institute of Strategic Studies, a London-based think tank focusing on defense and security issues.

The Houthi rebels in Yemen, another of Iran’s allies, depend on long-range Iranian missiles but supplies are limited, Hinz said.

Lebanon's president and prime minister have said that their country must stay out of the conflict between Israel and Iran because any engagement would be detrimental to the small nation engulfed in an economic crisis and struggling to recover from the latest Israel-Hezbollah war.

Their remarks Monday amounted to a message to Hezbollah — an ally of both Iran and Hamas — to stay out of the fray.

The major developments in the region, especially the Israeli-Iranian war, have reshuffled all cards in Lebanon and frozen the discussion of a number of files, most notably the handover of Palestinian weapons present in refugee camps, a process that was supposed to begin Monday from Beirut’s camps, a media report said.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Monday underscored the need to “prevent Lebanon's entanglement in any way in the ongoing war” between Israel and Iran.

The U.S. has warned Lebanon against taking part in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, a local media report said.

The report published Monday in al-Binaa newspaper said that Israel would respond harshly to any missile launched from Lebanon and that the Lebanese army is working to prevent any attack from Lebanon.

Former Syrian official and adviser to ousted President Bashar al-Assad has been interviewed in Beirut by the FBI and the CIA in April, in the presence of Lebanese officials, The Washington Post and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said Sunday.

According to the reports, Bassam al-Hassan told the FBI that American journalist Austin Tice was killed in 2013 on the orders of al-Assad, after Tice briefly escaped from his prison cell.

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil on Monday denied remarks attributed to him about Hezbollah and the possibility of peace between Lebanon and Israel.

Cabinet on Monday approved the diplomatic appointments and tackled an agenda of 49 items and other emergency issues, including the situations after the eruption of the Israeli-Iranian war.
