An analysis posted Monday evening argues that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is alarmed by the task he received from US President Donald Trump to handle Hezbollah, because he understands Iran is reawakening and the IRGC will undermine him — a concerning consequence of post-Operation Roaring Lion US policy. A second point notes the security implications for Jordanian security services and the king amid talk of a terror axis from Yemen and elsewhere.
An analysis circulated Monday evening on Israeli Telegram channels argues that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is alarmed by the task he received from US President Donald Trump to tackle Hezbollah in Lebanon. The reason, according to the analysis, is simple: Assad understands that Iran is reawakening and that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) will dig a pit for him — a concerning consequence of US policy in the wake of Operation Roaring Lion, the joint US-Israel operation of February 2026.
The analysis notes that Jordan's internal security is also in focus. Amid talk of a terror axis stretching from Yemen and beyond, the piece questions what Jordanian security services and the king are feeling about the scenarios. The assessment comes as The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's call for Syria to handle Hezbollah (June 17), and on assessments that the IRGC is using Hezbollah to test the limits of the US truce (June 19). The analysis itself is attributed to a desk-reviewed report and remains unconfirmed.
