What Naim Qassem is saying is essentially this: Hezbollah will support the Islamic regime in Iran — but we, meaning the Lebanese state, will not allow it to happen in practice.
The message is clear: Lebanon has had enough of “adventures.” it will not permit anyone to drag the country into a new military adventure.
The so-called “Gaza support war” already pushed the country into a conflict whose cost to Lebanon was not just high, but extraordinarily high — economically, militarily, and politically. That experience has left deep scars, and today there is no appetite, either within state institutions or among the broader public, to repeat it.
In other words, while Hezbollah may frame its position as ideological or strategic loyalty to Iran, the Lebanese state is drawing a line. It is signaling that it will not accept being used as a platform for regional escalation, and it will not allow decisions taken outside Lebanon to determine whether the country goes to war.
