Iran has instructed Hezbollah to elevate its military readiness to an advanced level in anticipation of an imminent regional confrontation, according to an "Erem News" report citing anonymous Lebanese military and security sources. The directive, originating from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is part of ongoing coordination with allied leaderships across the region. It specifically calls for preparations for a potential escalation involving Israel and the United States, including plans for synchronized military responses in the event of a new war.

In response to the Iranian directive, Hezbollah has recalled all its salaried full-time members and issued secret internal orders for their reassignment to new positions, the sources stated. Concurrently, the organization is implementing a new combat system designed to grant its field units greater autonomy. This move aims to mitigate potential damage to Hezbollah's central command from Israeli strikes.

Diplomatic sources also informed i24NEWS that Iran conveyed a message to Hezbollah, stating, "We estimate that an American attack is a matter of time, it is better that you also be prepared."
