Military Tensions in the Middle East
The ongoing situation in the Middle East is marked by heightened tensions following high-profile assassinations related to Iran's influence in the region. Israel is preparing for potential retaliatory actions against both civilian infrastructure and Israel-linked targets abroad while waiting for Iran's response. Amid these threats, it appears Hezbollah is becoming increasingly impatient with Tehran’s slower-than-expected response, suggesting they may act independently. This indicates a shift in expectations, with Israeli officials now believing that Hezbollah could be the first to initiate a significant military operation against Israel.
