Hezbollah has the weapons to carry out its threat against Cyprus

• The leader of the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon threatened the Republic of Cyprus.
• Hezbollah has a vast arsenal of missiles and drones to carry through on its threat.
• Hezbollah may be using Cyprus as a "stand in" to threaten Greece, a regional expert said.

The leader of the powerful Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon threatened the Republic of Cyprus for the first time this month, underscoring the risks of the Middle East crisis spreading beyond the region. The threat against Cyprus is also an indirect threat against NATO member Greece, which has close ties with Israel.
