Hezbollah expresses support for Iran but faces pressure from Lebanese leaders

The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has publicly expressed solidarity with Iran following recent tensions. The group's chief said Iran has always supported Palestine and blamed US-Israeli enmity on Iran blocking a 'Greater Israel' scheme.

Lebanon's prime minister warned Hezbollah not to drag the country into a new conflict. A senior Lebanese official also called on the group to act with restraint if Tehran were attacked.
