Hezbollah leader says group faces ‘existential threat’ as he hopes Iran–US deal will include Lebanon

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem warned his group faces an "existential threat" and called for Lebanon's inclusion in any Iran–US ceasefire deal, firmly rejecting disarmament. Lebanon–Israel talks resume June 2–3 in Washington, but Hezbollah's unconditional refusal to disarm signals the conflict has no near-term resolution.
