Iran could ‘activate’ Hezbollah if US targets regime, Trump’s inner circle to decide: expert
AI Summary
Reports indicate Iran's IRGC has tightened control over Hezbollah amid rising tensions and potential US strikes. Experts warn that if the US directly targets the Iranian regime, Hezbollah could be "activated" against Israel and US assets in the region. The decision on whether to target Iran rests with President Trump's inner circle, raising concerns about the extent of input from the wider intelligence community. Talks are scheduled in Geneva to address Iran's nuclear program, including uranium enrichment and sanctions relief. Experts warn that military action against Iran could escalate, potentially involving direct Iranian attacks, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, spreading conflict across the Middle East.
