Iran is tightening coordination between the Houthis in Yemen and the Shiite militias in Iraq to attack Israeli and American targets.
On the eve of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s trip to Washington, Israel launched attacks on targets in Yemen in response to a Houthi drone explosion in Tel Aviv.
The Israeli containment policy has ended. The Israeli attack, coordinated with the US, signals Israel’s preparation for an expanded conflict with the Houthis in Yemen.
Palestinians and several Arab countries are worried about next week’s anticipated meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden in Washington, as well as Netanyahu’s planned speech to Congress.
Hamas fears that Netanyahu will receive political support and arms from the U.S. during his visit, enabling him to continue the war in the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas leadership continues to downplay Israel’s achievements in the ongoing conflict, specifically hiding the news of Muhammad Deif’s death, a significant intelligence and operational success for the Shin Bet and the IDF. The battle for public perception continues as Hamas perpetuates the “myth of victory” from October 7, while Israel systematically eliminates those responsible for the massacre in Israeli settlements near Gaza.
Senior security officials in Israel are increasingly confident that Muhammad Deif was killed in the recent Israeli Air Force attack on Khan Yunis. Reports suggest that Hamas is attempting to conceal his fate. Within the Hamas movement, Muhammad Sinwar, brother of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, is already being considered as the potential successor to Deif.
The new president of Iran, Massoud Pezeshekian, aims to renew the nuclear agreement with global powers and lift the economic sanctions on Iran, which has already become a nuclear threshold state.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is the ultimate decision-maker on this matter.
Meanwhile, Iran is covertly progressing towards producing nuclear weapons within one to two years.
Iran has elected a new president who is expected to focus primarily on improving the country’s difficult economic situation.
The new president, Masoud Pezeshekian, is anticipated to be another puppet of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards.
His election will not mitigate the Iranian threat to Israel or its efforts to obtain nuclear weapons.
Recent statements by senior Iranian officials indicate that Iran prefers to avoid a regional war in the Middle East, opting instead to expand its ongoing war of attrition against Israel.
The underlying assumption of this strategy is that Israel struggles with prolonged conflicts, potentially weakening its power over time.
Iran has threatened to destroy Israel if it initiates an all-out war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In the Israeli security system, this Iranian threat is taken seriously. While not new, it appears Iran is closer to deciding on entering a regional war, a step it has avoided until now.
Intelligence sources in Israel estimate that Iran may attack Israel if a significant military conflict arises between Hezbollah and Israel, fearing a decisive blow to Hezbollah.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards are preparing Shia militias to move from Iraq to Lebanon to support Hezbollah.
