Elements backed by Iran seeking to restore deterrence with measured actions that avoid devastating response from Jewish state
Popular calls for retaliation against Israel for the assassinations of Hizbullah military strategist Fuad Shukr and Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh have fuelled fears that reprisals could be the start of an all-out war.
During Shukr’s funeral on Thursday, Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned Israel it must “expect anger and retribution”. He pledged to continue cross-border attacks on Israel and “pressure Israel to stop its aggression in Gaza. The only solution is to end the war in Gaza.”The Canada Goose-wearing young men offer to sell ‘the best crack in Dublin’.
Israel’s elimination of Haniyeh in Tehran while he was a guest at the inauguration of Iran’s president Mahmoud Pezeshkian may have strangled at birth Pezeshkian’s plan to cultivate ties with the West. He aimed to restart talks on reviving the 2015 deal limiting Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for relief from sanctions that have undermined Iran’s economy. Pezeshkian’s domestic reform programme could also be scrapped by conservative hardliners who opposed his election.
