Hezbollah political bureau member Mahmoud Qmati denied Tuesday in an interview with Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik that Hezbollah would get involved in the Iranian-Israeli war.
"Israeli reports about Hezbollah preparing to intervene are merely false pretexts to justify Israel's ongoing aggression against Lebanon," Qmati said.
He added that Hezbollah is cooperating with the Lebanese state to prevent anyone from sabotaging the Lebanese unity.
"Iran is strong enough and does not need military support from anyone," he said, urging the entire region and the medias to support Iran "politically", as he stressed the need to return to peace and nuclear negotiations.
