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]

According to the Iranian media, Ali Akbar Ahmadian, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, described security in the Gulf as a shared responsibility, warning that any external threat to one country would destabilize the entire region.

Sweden-Based Syrian Journalist Dr. Kamal Al-Labwani: There Is No Such Thing as Lebanon, It Belong to Syria Historically; If Latakia and Tartus Are Taken from Syria, It Will Raid Tripoli and Sidon and
Sweden-based Syrian journalist Dr. Kamal Al-Labwani said in an interview that was posted to the Lebanese YouTube channel Spot Shot on July 7, 2025 that if the superpowers take Latakia and Tartus from Syria, then Syria will have no choice but to invade Lebanon and annex Tripoli and Sidon by force, because it needs an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea. He accused the Lebanese army, under the command of current Lebanese President Aoun, of preparing barrel bombs for the Assad regime, and claimed that Lebanon had sent Hizbullah to occupy and destroy Syria. Al-Labwani said Lebanon is not a 'real country' but a 'historical lie' created by General Gouraud after World War I, and he declared that he wants to return the Lebanese people to their motherland of Syria. He also warned that any attempt to change Syria's borders will lead to the 'annihilation of Lebanon.' Dr. Kamal al-Labwani is a Syrian opposition figure and former political prisoner, known for his advocacy of democratic reform and cross-border dialogue.

Following US warning, Iraqi PM meets American diplomat
Shafaq News – Baghdad Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani met, on Sunday, with the Chargé d'Affaires of the United States Embassy in Iraq, Steven Fagin, discussing bilateral relations and reviewing key areas of cooperation across various sectors. According to a statement delivered by al-Sudani's media office, the two sides also addressed regional developments and emphasized the importance of the international community taking direct steps to prevent the region from sliding into a cycle of conflict. The meeting came a day after the US reiterated its concerns over the role of Iranian-backed armed groups operating under Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), calling on the Iraqi government to take stronger action to hold them accountable for illegal activity. A US State Department spokesperson told Shafaq News that some elements within the PMF maintain ties to designated foreign terrorist organizations and are engaged in activities that Washington views as destabilizing to Iraq's security. US officials have repeatedly raised alarms about several groups within or closely associated with the PMF that are subject to American terrorism designations or sanctions, such as Kataib Hezbollah and Asaib Ahl al-Haq, citing their links to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF) and their involvement in attacks against US forces in Iraq.
