Hezbollah says it has 'no choice' but to defend itself after deadly Israeli strikes

Hezbollah stated it has no option but to defend itself after deadly Israeli strikes in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley killed at least 10 people, including a military official. The group is reportedly increasing its internal meetings, with Iranian commanders assuming greater control, as it plans for a potential war between the US and Iran. This escalation comes as the Pentagon reportedly moves hundreds of troops and deploys warships and aircraft to the Middle East. Analysts suggest the US is positioning for a longer conflict and anticipating a significant Iranian response that could risk American bases in the region.
