AhlulBayt News Agency: A senior Hezbollah figure warned that any U.S. military strike on Iran would ignite a broader regional conflict, stressing that Washington underestimates the far‑reaching consequences of such an action.
He noted that rising tensions between the United States and Iran could escalate beyond a bilateral dispute, potentially involving regional actors and destabilizing West Asia.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that an American “armada” was heading toward the Persian Gulf, saying Washington was closely monitoring Iran and keeping the option of a new military offensive open, even while suggesting Tehran appeared interested in negotiations and fully prepared to respond decisively to aggression.
During his return from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that the U.S. was deploying a “massive fleet” to the region “just in case.”
Iran, for its part, has emphasized its full military readiness in the event of any miscalculation, warning that its response would exceed the expectations of its adversaries.
Nawaf al‑Moussawi, head of the Borders and Resources file in Hezbollah, said President Trump seeks either a negotiated deal with Iran or the collapse of the Islamic Republic.
He argued that although the U.S. may be capable of initiating a strike, it lacks the ability to manage or predict the consequences that would follow.
“What restrains the United States is its inability to foresee the consequences of such an attack,” he said.
He added that Washington has attempted to overthrow Iran’s political system since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
