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.
The political echelon will soon have to decide where Israel is heading on the northern border, whether to continue containing the situation or to engage in a widespread war against Hezbollah, which refuses to withdraw its forces from the border.
A senior Israeli official stated, “If Hezbollah continues to attack Israel, the whole of southern Lebanon will look like Gaza, Beirut will not be immune.”
Great pessimism prevails in Israel following political meetings with Amos Hochstein regarding the possibility of achieving a ceasefire in Lebanon. The prevailing assessment in Israel is that a war with Hezbollah is inevitable.
Iran opposes a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the hostage deal, and Yahya Sinwar complies with this policy. Sinwar attributes the resignation of Ministers Gantz and Eisenkot from the government to his strategy and is convinced that the Netanyahu government will soon collapse.
The “Arnon” operation to rescue four hostages from the Nuseirat refugee camp was a significant surprise for Hamas, dealing both an operational and morale blow.
However, Hamas is attempting to downplay the success of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
