BEIRUT (AP) — The leader of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah said Monday the group has no chemical weapons but can still cause great damage to Israel if there is a war, linking his remarks to tension over Iran’s nuclear program.

Sheik Hassan Nasrallah told Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV in a rare live interview that Iranian officials told him they will strike at Israel and U.S. military bases in the region if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities.
