Iranian IRGC’s ties to Hezbollah deepen tensions in Lebanese politics
Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Yemen’s Houthis join Iran in strike on Israel
AI Summary
Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam accused Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of directing Hezbollah's military operations against Israel, including drone attacks on Cyprus. These accusations come amid already strained relations between Hezbollah and the Lebanese government. Salam stated the IRGC is managing the military operation in Lebanon, with IRGC officials entering the country with false passports. This follows Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel in early March, claiming it was retaliation for the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader and Israeli aggression. Since early March, Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed over 1,000 people and displaced over 1.2 million. Analysts suggest the IRGC has played a crucial role in Hezbollah's preparations for renewed conflict.
