A senior Lebanese political source told the newspaper Nidaa al-Watan that Tehran's recent escalation in Lebanon was aimed not primarily at military goals but at pressing the US administration to reconsider tightening the sanctions regime on Iranian ports and to soften its position on frozen Iranian funds abroad. The claim, relayed by Israeli journalist Sapir Lipkin, represents an assessment attributed to a senior Lebanese figure and has not been independently corroborated.
