[An Nahar] The United States announced on Wednesday that it is ready to respond to any possible attack launched by Hizbullah as a retaliation to the anticipated U.S.-led operation against the Syrian regime.
"Our Navy is ready to respond to any retaliatory attack by Hizbullah," U.S. army chief General Martin Dempsey said during a hearing before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Dempsey added: "Our embassies are also fully protected against any possible attack by the party."
"There are conventional risks of retaliation, plus asymmetric attacks via Hizbullah. Even cyber attacks." |
