How did Lebanon’s resistance mess up America’s calculations in the Gaza war?
America, which considers Hezbollah not only a security and existential threat to Israel, but also a great danger to its own interests in the region, is very worried about the expansion of the war between the Lebanese resistance and the Zionist army and fears Hezbollah more than other fronts. |
According to the international group Tasnim news agency, at the beginning of the battle of Storm Al-Aqsa on October 7, 2023 As American ships, fighters, and aircraft carriers moved towards the eastern Mediterranean, there was a prevailing trend among analysts that the United States, in the framework of supporting the Zionist regime, is preparing to carry out offensive operations against regional resistance groups, led by Hezbollah. .
How did Hezbollah mess up America’s calculations in the Gaza war?
However, such analyzes gradually disappeared; Because it became clear that with these measures, America is seeking to reassure the Zionists to concentrate only on the Gaza front and to rest assured that another front against Israel will not be opened, especially from southern Lebanon. In fact, America is looking for a preventive measure to protect the Zionist regime in It was equal to the threat of other resistance fronts.
But we saw that none of these movements of America and the transfer of its military equipment and ships to the region could dissuade the resistance groups from helping the people and the Palestinian resistance, in the meantime America, which in the first place intended to prevent the operations of the Lebanese resistance against the Zionist regime, but observed that Hezbollah entered the field without delay and within a day of the start of the Al-Aqsa storm operation as the first resistance front to help the Palestinians.
While Hezbollah’s operations against the Zionist positions on the border of Lebanon and the depth of the northern front of occupied Palestine have entered an advanced stage and, according to Zionist and American sources, have caused more than 200,000 Zionist settlers to flee from this area, the Americans are doing their best have used to at least prevent the further spread of the war between the Lebanese resistance and the Zionist army.
Why is America so afraid of Hezbollah and its attacks against Israel?
The United States knows very well that Hizbollah has entered the battle with the Zionist occupiers as a support front for Gaza. This means that the Lebanese resistance, despite the advanced and rapid operations it carries out against the Israeli positions, has not yet displayed a large part of its main power. The Americans saw that in the July 2006 war, Hezbollah, which had just emerged from the 2000 war with the Zionists and was not expected to have the right conditions to enter a new war, surprised the Israelis and inflicted a humiliating and historic defeat on them. To the extent that after that, the Zionists did not dare to think about a new war with Lebanon.
The sinking of the Israeli army into the defense varnish, the evacuation of the northern settlements from the occupied Palestine and the effective support of Gaza, are 3 notable achievements that Hezbollah Today, it has won only as a front supporting Gaza in the war with the enemy, while the main war between Hezbollah and the Zionist army has not yet begun; A war that America and Israel are afraid of.
Washington’s fear of the hidden power of Hezbollah
Therefore, America is more than worried about the current developments in the southern front of Lebanon and The losses that the Israelis are suffering today in the north of the occupied territories are worrying about the hidden power of Hezbollah, which has not been revealed yet, and for this reason, Washington is struggling to prevent the spread of war between the Lebanese resistance and the occupying army, and American delegations are frequently traveling to Beirut.
The same situation of ambiguity and confusion that Hezbollah has created for the Americans and Zionists is considered one of the strength cards of Lebanon’s resistance in the current battle. During the last 100 days, Hezbollah was careful that no information was available to the Americans and Israelis. and they will not be able to predict how the resistance operations in southern Lebanon will be and also how much material and human losses the Zionists will suffer.
Actually, Hezbollah carries out its operations in the context of surprising the enemy. And Washington and Tel Aviv cannot predict the limits of these operations, but in the meantime, the positions adopted by Seyed “Hasan Nasrallah”, the Secretary General of Hezbollah, in his recent speeches have frightened and confused America and Israel more than ever.
The Nightmare of War “Without a Ceiling” for America and Israel
In his speech two weeks ago, Seyed Hassan Nasrallah talked about the war without a ceiling and without consideration. And he emphasized it again in his recent speech; This means that the Lebanese Islamic Resistance adheres to the rules of conflict in its daily operations against the Zionist positions, but if the invaders intend to intensify the aggression and not stop the war against Gaza, Hezbollah will no longer have any red line or ceiling in the attack. It will not comply with the enemy. Even the big operation that Hezbollah launched last week with 62 rockets against Miron base as the largest spy-military base of the Zionist regime, or the operation against the command base of the Israeli army in the occupied area of Safad. What he did was not outside the rules of conflict, and Hezbollah used weapons that had already been unveiled in these operations, which means that the Lebanese resistance has not yet entered the main stage of surprising the enemy and delivering the main blows to it.
Recently, the Israeli army reported that 2,000 rockets were fired from Lebanon at Israeli positions in 100 days. The firing of this number of rockets from Lebanon towards the targets of the Zionist regime within 100 days, first of all, shows how serious Hezbollah is in supporting Gaza and its resistance, and secondly, it shows Hezbollah’s firepower, so the Americans and Israelis are worried that if In the meantime, the United States understands the nature of the battle with Hezbollah more, or perhaps differently, than what Israel sees, the reason being that America considers the northern front of the occupied Palestine as part of the political and military geography of the entire region, while the current cabinet of the Zionist regime, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, only seeks to deal with the danger in the northern region of the occupied lands; Without realizing it, it is more dangerous to confront this danger, that is, to enter into a large-scale war with Hezbollah with the aim of eliminating the danger of this party, and its consequences will be disastrous for Israel and the United States in the region.
Washington’s efforts to stop Hezbollah’s operations
on this basis, Western and American delegations In the framework of an operational plan, they are constantly traveling to Beirut and using methods of persuasion and intimidation to force Lebanon to retreat against the aggression of the Zionist regime; Because they know that a large-scale war in the northern front of occupied Palestine will affect the entire interests of the West and the United States in the region.
Even though Hezbollah has repeatedly communicated and emphasized its response to the Americans indirectly until the aggression stops. Against Gaza, it will not enter into any political negotiations and will continue its anti-occupation operations, and even though the Lebanese government also supports the positions of resistance in this regard, the Americans do not give up and continue to send their delegations to Beirut. Of course, the Americans have not forgotten the words of Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, who directly threatened Washington; Where the Secretary General of Hezbollah said to the Americans in his first speech after the Al-Aqsa storm in early November 2023: “In the event of any regional war, your interests and soldiers will be sacrificed and you will be the biggest loser.”
Syed Hassan Nasrallah also explained exactly how the resistance’s battle with the Israelis is fundamentally linked to America’s presence in the region. Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah emphasized in his penultimate speech in January that the events of the Al-Aqsa storm are an opportunity to liberate the entire region from the evil of American occupation.
In this regard, it can be said that the factors of America’s fear of Hezbollah are only related not to Israel’s security; Rather, it is related to Lebanon’s resistance strategy and its leadership in the entire region, as Israel is actually America’s main base in the region, and therefore, if Hezbollah starts a large-scale war against this regime, there is no guarantee that America’s interests in the region will be safe; As Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah addressed the Americans and Zionists with his usual self-confidence and ironic tone in his Sunday night speech in response to the American threats to attack Lebanon by the Israeli army: “Welcome!”
The exact answer that can be given to the question why the United States attacks the south of Lebanon most of all The fronts are afraid, Dad, is that Hezbollah is absolutely determined and serious to continue and complete its support plan for Gaza, which it started on October 8, that is, Lebanese resistance until the aggression against Gaza stops. If he does not turn, he will not change his position; Even if it leads to a large-scale war, and as Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said, Hezbollah is ready for an unlimited war without a ceiling. Therefore, the Americans have come to the conclusion that they may be able to save Israel on the Gaza front in a way, but when it leads to a multi-front war, the most important front of which is Hezbollah, it will no longer be a way to save Tel Aviv, and worst of all, the United States will have to directly protect take action from their interests and bases in the region.
Here it is necessary to pay attention to the unified position and the important and influential coordination of the resistance groups; All of them have unanimously emphasized that until the end of the war against Gaza, they will not accept any negotiations and there is no ceasefire. In this context, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said in his last speech that if the current path in the fronts of Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, If Yemen and Iraq continue, the enemy will forcefully accept the conditions of resistance. Adopting an outward position claims that it does not want to expand the war, and Washington claims in its aggressions against Yemen that it intends to support international shipping in the Red Sea, and its attacks against Yemen are not directly related to supporting Israel.
In the end, America has come to the conclusion that neither by intimidation and threats, nor by soft positions and sending diplomatic delegations to Lebanon, it can force Hezbollah to withdraw its support from Gaza, so the only way that the Americans can prevent the spread of the war is And in other words, to protect their interests in the region, it is to stop the aggression of the Zionist regime against Gaza.
