A report from Iran claims that extremist elements inside Iran directed the recent shooting from Lebanon into Israel in an attempt to sabotage a nuclear agreement with the United States, according to an Iranian source. The report adds to a growing assessment that Tehran's internal factions are maneuvering to prevent a diplomatic resolution.
A report originating in Iran, cited by an Israeli news outlet, claims that hardline elements within the Iranian regime ordered the firing from Lebanon into Israel in order to sabotage a potential nuclear agreement between Tehran and Washington. The claim aligns with assessments The Zioneer has previously reported, including an Israeli security source's assessment that Iran directed Hezbollah to escalate fire on northern Israel last evening precisely to block any diplomatic deal. If accurate, the report underscores the internal power struggle in Iran between factions seeking a deal and those — particularly in the IRGC — seeking confrontation. The claim remains a single-source report and has not been independently corroborated by Israeli or Western officials.
