Under the title “The assassination of Nasrallah It makes Iran weigh its options,” the British newspaper The Guardian shed light on a situation Iran After Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, it said that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is under local pressure to respond to the Israeli occupation, but analysts fear the great danger of launching a direct attack on Israel.
It quoted the reformist-led Iranian government confirming that it does not plan to send forces to reinforce Hezbollah in LebanonBut at the same time, Iran’s leadership is under domestic pressure from hardliners who seek to exploit what they see as a failure to stand up to Israel — and also hope to prevent any discussion with the West about future oversight of Iran’s nuclear program.
Calls for a tougher Iranian response multiplied when it emerged that Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Lebanon and Syria, was killed in Beirut along with… Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The tension in Iran has reached such a point that some conservatives have been accused of sowing a toxic atmosphere on social media by distorting statements made by President Masoud Pezeshkian and his spokesman to make them appear unsupportive of the “axis of resistance.”
But the prevailing line in government circles is that direct war between the two countries should be avoided Israel and IranBecause it may serve the interests of Benjamin Netanyahu and drag the United States into intervention – but Hezbollah should not be left to fight alone. This was the position adopted by Pezeshkian in New York last week before the assassination of Nasrallah.
Likewise, Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Al-Kanaani pledged that Israel’s actions will not go unanswered But he said that there is no need to deploy auxiliary or volunteer Iranian forces, because the Lebanese and Palestinian governments have the ability to confront Israeli aggression.
Pezeshkian remains upset that he received American assurances through intermediaries that if he did not attack Israel in response Assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh In Tehran in July, the Israelis will sign a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
