Middle East crisis live: Iran could enrich uranium to weapons grade if attacked, senior lawmaker warns

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said his militant group’s weapons were not part of upcoming negotiations between Lebanon and Israel.

“Nobody outside Lebanon has anything to do with the weapons, the resistance... this is an internal Lebanese matter and not part of negotiations with the enemy,” Qassem said in a written statement ahead of a third round of talks in Washington between Lebanese and Israeli representatives this Thursday and Friday. Hezbollah will not be involved in the talks and see direct negotiations as a form of humiliation.
