“So far, the IDF has not struck Hezbollah's significant systems. Even if the government pursues a diplomatic agreement, it will only postpone the war that will break out whenever Hezbollah chooses and on its terms-by my estimation, no later than the end of 2026. No political or diplomatic agreement will prevent Hezbollah from continuing to operate. Any such agreement only means buying time, with Israel being the only side likely to adhere to it, while Hezbollah waits for an opportune moment to initiate a full-scale confrontation.”

“The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.”

“I think Iran does not want a big Israel-Hezbollah war right now, so any response will not come in the form of a big Hezbollah action. They have many other ways to respond ... for example by trying to blow up an Israeli embassy.”

“The war in the south [of Lebanon] is linked to the aggression on Gaza on the one hand, and to securing means of protection for our country on the other. When the [Israeli] occupation halts its aggression on Gaza, this front stops, because it is a supportive front.”

“Hezbollah had in particular helped the Houthis to build their naval capabilities. These include seven naval bases and 30 control posts along Yemen's coast that have radar and electro-optical directors for better control of missile launches. It's a massive coastal defense line for detection, and they're also using AIS (ship tracking) systems, and also intelligence from Iran. Among the unused weapons in the Houthis arsenal are Iranian-made Sadaf floating mines. While such munitions are relatively unsophisticated and easy to deploy, their impact on merchant shipping would be considerable if they were used in the Red Sea.”

“Syria is not only a battleground of the power struggle between the regional and the global powers, but also is a ground for the intelligence wars as well. For Iran, Lebanon and particularly for Hezbollah, Syria is a crucial element in the so-called 'Axis of the Resistance', so that's why all their presence in Syria is kept secret.”

“The Israelis would have been expecting a response. They would have been on high alert. Amid the continuing cross-border fighting, Hezbollah has a very political calculation to make in Lebanon. It doesn't want Lebanon to suffer as a result of an outright war. But it is talking tough. It says if Israel wants to escalate, then it will respond in kind.”

“Tehran has been a thoroughly malign influence in the region and in the world. You've got the Houthis, you've got Hezbollah, you've got the Iranian-backed militias in Iraq that have actually been attacking British and American bases, troops. And, of course, Hamas. So you've got all of these proxies, and I think it's incredibly important that, first of all, Iran receives an incredibly clear message that this escalation will not be tolerated.”

“Domestic opposition to a destructive war would be substantial, but at the same time, my take is that it would not be enough to entirely constrain or deter Hezbollah from acting if its intervention is of sufficient importance for itself and the broader resistance axis of which it is a key part.”

“The Iranians are facing this dilemma of whether they are going to send Hezbollah to the fight in order to try to save their arm in the Gaza Strip or maybe they are going to let go of this arm and give it up. This is the point where the Iranians are calculating their risks.”

“For Israel, the biggest goal is to prevent Iran from creating a base on its border with Syria, the way that Iran's ally in Lebanon, Hezbollah has. Israel also wants to stop any transfers of sophisticated weapons from Iran to Hezbollah. Such attacks are often confined, but the risk of further escalation is there.”

“It would be silly for the Houthis to leave all areas in Yemen to use the Sanaa airport as it is under 24 hours monitoring by Saudi backed forces. It was silly to see al-Malki [Saudi General Turki al-Malki] talking about what he called 'outside intervention' of parties outside of Yemen - as he said Hezbollah and Iran - but we see at the back [at the press conference] flags of 12 countries that are involved in the war.”

“Irresponsible statements made by today's politicians like George Kordahi and Hezbollah leaders are sure to jeopardise the country's efforts to restoring relations [with the GCC]. It may threaten with retaliations against tens of thousands of Lebanese expats working in Gulf countries - George Kordahi was one of them when he used to run a TV show at [Saudi-owned] MBC. The Lebanese diaspora community provides the last remaining sources of remittance and economic support to tens of thousands of families in the country.”

“While what they [Hezbollah] are doing now is symbolic with this barge of diesel, it could be a starting point for something bigger. If it persists and they can carry on doing that at a larger scale, then we would be seeing a start of trying to fragment the country.”
