Saudi-Owned Al-Hadath News Outlet: Hizbullah To Intervene In Israel-Iran War If It Perceives Iranian Regime To Be In Danger
On June 18, 2025, Saudi Arabia's Al-Hadath News outlet posted a quote on its X account from "a source close to Hizbullah" which stated that Hizbullah would intervene in the war being waged between Iran and Israel "only if it perceives that the [Iranian] regime is beginning to waver."[1]

On the following day, on its website, Al-Hadath posted additional quotes from the same source, according to which Hizbullah was supposed to play a more significant role in the war between Iran and Israel, but the blows that the organization received in its most-recent round of fighting with Israel have prevented it from doing so. According to the source, it is the developments in the Iran-Israel war which will determine whether there is a need for Hizbullah's intervention.
The website commented that if Hizbullah did join the fighting alongside Iran, this would mean that it would use "its heavy weapons." The source stated that the organization "still has capabilities." It also said that "the elimination of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps would unequivocally mean the end of Hizbullah." The website further quoted "a source familiar with Hizbullah's way of thinking" which claimed that Iran can cope alone with the current confrontation, without the help of its allies, which is why Hizbullah is currently adopting a "wait and see" approach to the situation.[2]
