Tehran: Iran has angered its allies Hezbollah and Hamas. Kuwaiti newspaper Al Jarida reported on Wednesday that Iran has urged Israel to be cautious in responding after the killing of Hezbollah terrorist Fuad Shukar and Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyya. Iran has expressed its desire to delay retaliation over the killing of Haniyya. The report quoted a source in the Quds Force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps as saying that a meeting was held between representatives of Iran’s proxy and the Revolutionary Guard in Tehran on Sunday. This debate-filled meeting has created a rift. The meeting saw a war of words and some allies walked out in anger. According to the report, representatives of Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, various Iraqi factions and the Houthis attended the meeting to attack Israel. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have urged in this meeting to stop retaliation at least until the ceasefire talks are over. The talks regarding the release of the hostages are scheduled to end on Thursday.
Why does Iran not want to attack Israel?
However, Iran’s proxies think differently. They believe that this is the best time to launch an all-out attack on Israel, even if it means confronting the US or other countries in the region. The report mentioned that the Iranian delegation has made it clear that by attacking in this way, we will do what Israel wants. Because Israel is prepared for the fact that a major attack can happen on it at any time.
Assassination attempts on Israeli leaders
According to the report, the Iranians called for a tit for tat response. It said that just as they target our people, the Israeli leaders should be retaliated with a retaliatory assassination. Hamas representatives at the meeting demanded the assassination of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in response to Hania’s death and said that apart from this they would not support Iran’s proposal. On the other hand, Hezbollah expressed concern about the risk of maintaining constant restraint and feared that their members could attack independently. The report also mentioned Iran’s concern that its allies could attack without talking to Iran, due to which it would have to deal with the consequences.
