Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, has expressed a conditional acceptance of a ceasefire with Israel, as announced by US President Donald Trump. Lawmaker Ibrahim al-Moussawi stated that Hezbollah will adhere to the ceasefire only if Israel completely halts its military operations against them. He warned that any continued strikes or targeted assassinations by Israel would jeopardize the ceasefire. This cautious stance reflects a broader skepticism among Iran-backed factions regarding ceasefire arrangements, as there are concerns that such pauses in fighting may be exploited tactically rather than indicating a genuine de-escalation. Moussawi credited Iran for its role in facilitating the ceasefire, asserting that Tehran's pressure was crucial for the agreement, which is also strategically linked to tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil route. Despite the potential for a pause in hostilities, Hezbollah's guarded response highlights the uncertain durability of the ceasefire, with both sides likely to test its limits in the days ahead.
