Hezbollah said Iran's missile attacks on Israel were a message of 'moral, political and field commitment' made in defence of the Lebanese people, and called on the Lebanese government to 'correct' its relationship with Iran and use Iran's support to achieve Lebanon's goals.

Why it matters

It set Hezbollah against President Aoun, who had accused Iran days earlier of using Lebanon as a bargaining chip in its talks with the U.S.
