Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is increasingly concerned that Hezbollah could drag Lebanon into another devastating war with Israel, despite assurances from the Iranian-backed terrorist organization that it will remain out of any renewed confrontation between Iran, the United States, and Israel.

According to a report published Sunday by the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, Aoun fears Hezbollah could once again reverse its position and join the fighting if tensions between Washington and Tehran escalate into a military confrontation.
