Hezbollah sees 'major, dangerous' change in Syria

Lebanon's Hezbollah views events in Syria as a "major, dangerous and new transformation", a senior Hezbollah politician has said, in what is the Iran-backed group's first reaction to the toppling of its ally Bashar al-Assad.

"What is happening in Syria is a major, dangerous and new transformation, and how and why what happened requires an evaluation, and the evaluation is not done on the podiums," Hezbollah's Hassan Fadlallah said in a statement.
