TL;DR Summary

Hezbollah's acquisition of powerful Russian anti-ship missiles, including the Yakhont missile with a range of 300 km, poses a significant threat to U.S. warships in the region, according to sources familiar with the group's arsenal. Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's recent warning to the United States about having something in store for its fleets was likely referring to these enhanced capabilities. U.S. officials acknowledge the seriousness of Hezbollah's anti-ship missile capabilities and have deployed naval defenses in response. The situation highlights the risks of a regional war and the potential escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
