Hezbollah rules out Syria unraveling into wider war - newspaper interview

Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah does not believe a direct U.S.-Russia clash or a wider all-out war will occur over Syria, its deputy leader said in a newspaper interview published on Friday.

"The conditions do not point to a total war happening ... unless Trump and Netanyahu completely lose their minds," Sheikh Naim Qassem told Lebanese daily al-Joumhouria, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump has threatened missile strikes on Syria, and a Russian envoy has voiced fears of a wider conflict between Washington and Moscow.
