Elimination from the leader of Hezbollah It is the latest blow to an Iranian ally in recent months. Indirect and direct Israeli attacks against the Tehran regime which reveal the lack of real response from the ayatollahs’ regime
“It is obligatory for all Muslims to support the Lebanese people and the proud Hezbollah with all the capabilities they have,” Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of Iran, publicly declared in this regard, without announcing a response.
The question is whether Iran will move from words to action, which Eduardo Saldanaco-editor of ‘The World Order’, does not see the short term: “During these last hours, there have been statements a little more aesthetic for the gallery and all very oriented to show their support for Hezbollah, but if we look at the last few weeks, I do not anticipate that Iran will be able to respond with the vigor that it is trying to demonstrate to the public.“, which probably harms the credibility of the regime, which is already quite damaged by the inaction we are witnessing.”
An inaction that does not come from now. The last forceful response came in April, after the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which killed several senior Revolutionary Guard officials. Two weeks later, Iran launched 320 drones and missiles against Israeli territory. And they caused virtually no damage because most of them were intercepted.
In July, Israel once again exposed the Islamic Republic of Iran to the assassination of the leader of Hamas in Tehran. An attack in their own capital that provoked threats, but no action.
This month, Israel killed 1,500 Hezbollah militants in two days, exploding pagers and walkie-talkies, and within a week demonstrated its ability to destroy what remained of its leadership .
Blows with little counter-blow due to the uncertainty of whether or not this time there will be a real rematch.
