Hezbollah to Iran: We can no longer wait for you to make a response while Israeli attacks continue to harm Lebanese citizens. The situation on the ground may get out of control.

Iran infuriated its allies, especially Hezbollah and Hamas, when it again called for patience in Israel's response after the assassination of Hezbollah's Chief of Staff, Fouad Shukar, and the head of Hamas' political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh.

The source explained to the Kuwaiti newspaper "Al-Jarida" that the meeting was attended by representatives from the Lebanese Hezbollah, senior officials from the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad movements, the Iraqi and Syrian armed parties and factions, and the Yemeni Houthis.

The representatives of the Revolutionary Guards informed the allies that they should wait for a response, at least until the end of the negotiations, scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday), on the ceasefire in Gaza, which was called by the trio of mediators that includes Washington. Cairo and Doha.

On the other hand, the Arab representatives of Hezbollah and Hamas believed that the only way to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and to calm down the entire region is to impose it on Israel by force, and it is necessary to open all fronts to force Israel to accept the ceasefire.

According to the Iranians, this scenario is a big adventure that will ultimately be in the interest of Israel, not the Palestinians or the "resistance front". 

The vision presented by Tehran's allies includes wide-ranging and long-term operations, attacks on infrastructure, security institutions, military and economic targets, and even Israeli civilian and residential areas, which will make all Israelis live in shelters for a long time. 

Hezbollah is of the opinion that after the attack in the southern suburb of Beirut, Haifa and Tel Aviv must be attacked, to form the equation of Haifa and Tel Aviv against Beirut and the southern suburb at any cost, and that Hezbollah must expand the targets of the attack towards other Israeli cities, even if this will lead to harming civilians. Changing the equation is necessary, harming Israeli citizens versus harming Lebanese citizens.

Hezbollah warned Iran that the lip-biting phase is no longer appropriate, and there is a fear on the part of Hezbollah's leadership that certain elements, or even senior commanders from its ranks, will get out of control and carry out independent attacks.

The Houthis supported Hezbollah's position and the matter became a major dispute with Iran. 

The commanders of the Revolutionary Guards claimed that the decision was not in their hands and they could not decide on the matter, which angered the allies even more. They believed that they were being attacked while the Iranian leadership decided to be restrained.

In conclusion: At the end of the tense meeting, several representatives of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis left the meeting in anger and claiming that they had come to Tehran to coordinate the response together, not to coordinate its rejection. 

There is a fear in the leadership of the Revolutionary Guards that some of these people will open several fronts against Israel without coordination with Tehran and face a fait accompli, as Hamas did on October 7, but on many more fronts.
