Hizbollah sees no need to aid Iran if U.S. strikes
Sheikh Naim Kassem told Reuters that the guerrilla group, which was established by Iran in the early 1980s but has since grown into a political party with 14 seats in parliament, had no plans to get involved in regional battles.

"Hizbollah is not a tool of Iran, it is a Lebanese project that implements the demands of Lebanese," Kassem said in an interview in the Hizbollah-controlled southern suburb of Beirut.

"Iran is a big country with real capabilities and can defend itself if it is exposed to American danger."

Tehran says no incentives would convince it to halt efforts to enrich uranium it says is for civilian nuclear energy, but Iranian comments that Israel should be "wiped off the map" have done little to assuage Western suspicions about its intentions.

1. Hezbollah
is a decent organization. I used to to research on the difference between terrorist organizations and freedom fighters. Hezbollah is aa freedom fighting organization. A Terrorist organization would get involved.
