Western intelligence sources report that Iran is outraged with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar for dragging it into a confrontation with Israel that has inflicted significant harm on the axis of resistance it leads.
Hamas’s attack on Israel has triggered a domino effect across the Middle East, with Iran emerging as one of the main casualties of the fallout.
The cease-fire agreement with Lebanon presents Israel with significant intelligence and operational challenges to prevent Hezbollah’s military recovery and reestablishment in southern Lebanon.
Iran is making significant efforts to counter the wave of rumors suggesting that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is in critical medical condition and that the regime’s “Council of Experts” has already selected his son, Mujtaba Khamenei, as his successor. Mujtaba Khamenei is known for his vehement hostility toward the United States and Israel. He is closely aligned with the Revolutionary Guards and is a staunch supporter of a multi-front confrontation strategy against Israel. Additionally, he advocates for the production of nuclear weapons as a means to strengthen Iran’s regional power.
According to senior security officials, Sheikh Naim Kassem, the new Secretary General of Hezbollah, is in Israel’s crosshairs and it will work to eliminate him.
In their estimation, his appointment was made under Iranian pressure on the Hezbollah leadership to show that the organization recovers and controls the situation after the severe blows it received from Israel.
According to senior security officials, Israel’s recent airstrike on Iran has reportedly destroyed all of Iran’s strategic air defense capabilities and severely hindered its ability to produce new ballistic missiles.
Despite these setbacks, Iran is determined to respond to the Israeli attack and is currently engaged in damage control efforts.
According to sources in Lebanon, Hezbollah is currently governed by a temporary “collective leadership” following the assassination of its Secretary General, Hassan Nasrallah, by Israel.
The organization has yet to choose a successor, as the leadership is wary of further Israeli attacks.
Hezbollah is facing a crucial decision as it prepares to choose a successor following the death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
With the mourning period coming to an end, Iran is expected to play a decisive role in determining the new leader, someone who will be instrumental in rebuilding Hezbollah’s power.
The leading candidate for this position is Hashem Safi al-Din, Nasrallah’s cousin and the head of Hezbollah’s executive council, who maintains close ties with Iran.
Since the onset of the war, Hassan Nasrallah has made a series of strategic miscalculations that have significantly weakened Hezbollah and harmed the people of Lebanon.
His reputation as a wise and effective leader has been severely tarnished in Lebanon and across the Arab world, eroding his credibility and leaving him viewed as a failure.
Iran fears that Israel is setting a trap for both Tehran and Hezbollah, with the goal of provoking them into a regional conflict.
Such a war, according to Iranian leaders, would grant Israel international legitimacy to strike a decisive and potentially devastating blow against them.
The Iranian directive to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah remains clear: adhere to the strategy of attrition against Israel and maintain the “unity of the arenas,” without deviating from this approach.
The assassination of Ibrahim Akil, head of Hezbollah’s operations department and commander of the “Radwan” force, represents a significant intelligence and operational achievement in the ongoing battle of wits between Israel and Hezbollah.
A senior Israeli official noted that Israel has the capability to assassinate Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s Secretary General, though this remains a decision for the political leadership.
