Hezbollah has received new Iranian instructions to significantly increase its military readiness, as Tehran believes a regional conflict is imminent. The organization is developing a new combat system where operatives will act independently to mitigate potential Israeli strikes on leadership. These preparations are viewed as a short-term scenario rather than a final decision for war, with a focus on delegating military responsibility.

  • The organization is developing a new combat system with independent field operatives.

Lebanese security and military sources have informed the Emirati website "Erem News" that Hezbollah has received new instructions from Iran to significantly increase its military readiness. According to the Lebanese sources, Tehran believes a regional conflict is imminent and has directed the organization to prepare for it. Hezbollah is reportedly developing a new combat system where field operatives will act independently, aiming to mitigate the impact of potential Israeli strikes on senior leadership. These directives from Iran are part of ongoing coordination between the Revolutionary Guards and their regional proxy leaders, as reported by the sources. The coordination between Tehran and its proxies is seen as preparation for a possible escalation of conflict with Israel and the United States, including simultaneous military responses if a new war breaks out. Lebanese sources confirmed that Hezbollah views Iran's instructions as preparation for a short-term scenario, not a final decision to go to war, noting that the preparations go beyond traditional mobilization. A notable change within Hezbollah involves delegating military responsibility and reducing reliance on the central command structure, enabling operatives to act independently if contact with senior leadership is lost, particularly following a series of targeted killings of the organization's top figures.
