Tehran is experiencing heightened tension and fear of a potential American attack, with Iranian officials stating that such an offensive is "only a matter of time." In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps has begun evacuating bases across the country. This comes after the IRGC recently conducted a ballistic missile drill, which drew attention from Israel and the United States. Reports from Lebanon indicate that Iran has instructed Hezbollah to prepare for a "new regional campaign."
Hezbollah has reportedly made structural changes, granting more autonomy to its field units. This move is seen as a way to reduce reliance on a command system that has suffered targeted assassinations and significant damage to its leadership. However, current intelligence does not suggest an immediate mobilization of forces or a heightened state of alert indicating an imminent conflict. The organization is considered weaker without its leader, and its dependence on Iran is greater than ever.
Adding to the complex regional dynamics, a new poll in Lebanon suggests that 63% of Lebanese Shiites support an agreement with Israel. Hezbollah is reportedly concerned that a war could amplify calls for its disarmament. Given the significant blows the organization has sustained, it is likely to avoid a direct confrontation with the IDF at this time.
