Hezbollah issued a lengthy statement thanking Iran for its retaliatory strike against Israel and urging Lebanese politicians to align with Tehran's umbrella in indirect negotiations via Pakistan rather than talk directly with Israel. The group also thanked the Houthis for joining the response. Notably, the statement made no mention of southern Lebanon, where Israel continues operations — a silence that highlights Iran's apparent acceptance of ongoing Israeli strikes in the south.
