Hezbollah leader says militia not deterred by US warnings, all options ‘on the table’

The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah says his militia is not deterred by US warnings to stay out of the Israel-Hamas war.

In a televised speech on Friday (Saturday morning AEST), Hassan Nasrallah referred to US military deployments in the region, saying "your fleets in the Mediterranean … will not scare us".

He said that Hezbollah was prepared for all options.

Nasrallah stopped short of announcing that Hezbollah was fully engaging in the Israel-Hamas war.

He said that the fighting on the Lebanon-Israel border would "not be limited" to the scale seen until now.
