Israeli security officials assess that Iran and Hezbollah are expected to take extraordinary action to prevent the success of the emerging Israel-Lebanon agreement, which they view as a major blow to Tehran and its regional proxy network, according to a single report.
A single report from the desk's intelligence sources states that Israeli security assessment sees Iran and Hezbollah preparing to take extraordinary measures to thwart the Israel-Lebanon framework deal, describing the emerging accord as a major strategic blow to Tehran and its proxy network. The assessment comes amid a series of reports and analyses The Zioneer has tracked over the past two weeks, in which commentators and officials expressed concerns that Hezbollah — with Iranian backing — would try to derail the diplomatic process, or that the deal would inadvertently entrench Hezbollah's power. A source linked to the source '301 The Arab World' assessed minutes earlier that both Tehran and Hezbollah dislike the deal, which he interprets as a positive sign for Israel. The latest report, however, warns of active Iranian-Hezbollah sabotage efforts, not merely passive displeasure. No specific timeline, means, or operational details of the anticipated 'extraordinary action' are provided in the source material, and the assessment remains attributed to a single anonymous security source.
