An Israeli attack on Lebanon will raise the risk of a wider conflict, says US military chief

An Israeli attack on Lebanon would potentially bring Iran and Iran-aligned fighters closer to such a conflict, particularly if Hezbollah’s existence is threatened, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff warned today. Wing Commander Charles “CQ” Brown did not predict Israel’s next moves and recognized the Jewish state’s right to self-defense. However, he warned that an attack on Lebanon “could increase the chances of a wider conflict”. “Hezbollah is more capable than Hamas in terms of overall capabilities, number of missiles, among other things. And I’m just saying that I would see Iran being more willing to provide more support to Hezbollah,” Brown told reporters ahead of a stop in Cape Verde en route to Botswana for regional defense talks. source: APE
