“Since the outbreak of the war, the US has threatened to bomb us in Lebanon from its military ships in the Mediterranean. We are prepared for whatever scenario. If an all-out war breaks out, you Americans will pay with your ships, your aircrafts and your soldiers. Remember your defeats in Lebanon and Iraq, and your humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan. Those who defeated you in Lebanon in the 1980s are still alive and their children and grandchildren are ready to face you.

“Your fleet in the Mediterranean do not scare us… We are ready to face the fleet you threaten us with. Whoever wants to prevent a regional war must quickly stop the aggression on Gaza.”Gianluca Pacchiani, “‘A civilian for a civilian’: Nasrallah threatens attacks against Israelis, US troops in region,” Times of Israel, November 3, 2023, https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/a-civilian-for-a-civilian-nasrallah-threatens-attacks-against-israelis-us-troops-in-region/.
