Amid concerns over an escalation between the Palestinian armed faction Hamas and Israel, Iran has permitted the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah to carry out limited attacks against Israel.


According to local media on the 22nd (local time), the current Iranian leadership has authorized Hezbollah to conduct limited attacks on Israeli military targets across the border.


Lebanon shares a border with Israel approximately 200 km north of the Gaza Strip.


In addition, other armed groups linked to Iran have reportedly been allowed to carry out low-level attacks targeting the United States. This strategy appears aimed at attempting limited attacks while avoiding direct involvement in the war by Iran.



According to Iranian state media, Vahid Jalalzadeh, chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee, stated on the 18th, "We are in contact with our friends Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah," adding, "They hold the position that they do not expect us to conduct military operations."
