Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Directing Hezbollah as Tensions Rise With US and Israel • Jewish Breaking News

Officers from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are reportedly taking a direct leadership role in running Hezbollah’s military operations in Lebanon and preparing the group for possible conflict with Israel and the United States, according to a Saudi-based report citing sources close to the Lebanese militia.

The report says IRGC officers have arrived in Lebanon from Iran and are now helping to rebuild Hezbollah’s military capabilities, which were significantly weakened during more than a year of heavy fighting with Israel that ended with a truce in late 2024. These officers are described as personally briefing Hezbollah fighters and meeting with the group’s missile units in the Bekaa Valley, a strategic area near the Syrian border.

The increased involvement by the IRGC reflects Iran’s broader strategy to prepare for a potential war if the United States were to attack. Iran is also applying pressure on Hezbollah to join any conflict on the side of Tehran, a dynamic that Israeli security officials are monitoring closely.

Hezbollah has denied disarmament plans and continues to reject efforts by the Lebanese government, insisting it will not give up its weapons. The group’s leadership has also warned that any attack on Iran could trigger a wider regional war and that they will remain involved. The IDF said it is preparing contingency plans for a range of scenarios, including expanded hostilities with Hezbollah if the group engages directly in a future conflict.
