Middle East will catch fire if Iran attacked

Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem has warned that a military offensive against Iran would set the entire Middle East on fire.

"America knows that if there is a war on Iran, this means that the whole region will be set alight, with no limit to the fires," Qassem said in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday.

"Israel could start a war... but it does not know the scale of the consequences and it is incapable of controlling them," he added.
