Huh? You're saying Iran wouldn't confront the US with military action if they were attacked? Unless, you mean China?
Yeah, meant to say China in that post.

Calling Hezbollah a terrorist group is fallacious. Would you consider Charles De Gaulle's Free French Forces a terrorist group? Probably not. Hezbollah is a legitimate resistance organization that has defended its land against an Israeli occupying force and has consistently stood up to the bloodthirsty Israeli army. Unsurprisingly the only countries that listed Hezbollah as a terrorist group are Israel's close allies (puppets).
Any claim that Hezbollah has to being a "legitimate resistance organization" is over at this point. Hezbollah now is nothing but a tool of Iran to maintain its control over Lebanon. The ayatollahs say "jump" and Nasrallah says "how high." If Hezbollah is nothing but a resistance movement against "Israeli aggression" why are they now being used as Iran's shock army against the anti-Assad forces in Syria?
Simple: because Hezbollah's true allegiance is not to the Lebanese state, but to the Shia-run "axis of resistance" and the concept of the velayat-e-faqih which exists as the ideological underpinning of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
