Hezbollah's "Nasrallah could stop the terrorist attacks across Israel," US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller tells reporters in Washington. Hassan Nasrallah, chief of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, vowed to keep fighting Israel in a speech following the explosion of thousands of communications devices in an assault widely attributed to Israel.

00:00Let me make one thing clear. We are committed to the defense of Israel against terrorist organizations.
00:06That includes Hamas, it includes Hezbollah, it includes other Iranian proxies. We will continue
00:11to stand by Israel's right to defend itself. But we don't want to see any party escalate this
00:16conflict, period. We think that the best way to solve the really very real security challenge
00:22that Israel faces is through a diplomatic resolution that would allow thousands of
00:28Israeli citizens to return home and allow thousands of Lebanese citizens to return home.
00:32We're going to continue to press that on all parties.
00:35Nasrallah could stop the terrorist attacks across Israel. And I guarantee you if he did that,
00:40we would be impressing upon Israel the need to maintain calm on their end.
