Remember:

For the US and Israel to win, they have to achieve regime change.
For Iran to win, they just have to survive.

Here's a graph showing the daily claimed Hezbollah operations against Israel since the beginning of the war with Iran on February 28.

So far, Hezbollah has announced a total of 734 operations against Israel and the IDF in both Israel and Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon. Despite constant Israeli bombardment and previous claims of Hezbollah's capabilities being largely destroyed, Hezbollah continues to attack at similar, if not higher, rates than that of the 2024 invasion.

However, due to degradation from the 2024 war and constant Israeli strikes since then, coordination has decreased, and the effectiveness of these attacks has also decreased, as evidenced by the significantly increased rate of Israeli advance and clearing operations in southern Lebanon compared to in 2024.

Note: Unlike Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups, Hezbollah only announces a small fraction of the total operations carried out against the IDF, and often combines multiple attacks into one statement. This graph only counts total Hezbollah statements.

🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡- A fourteen-year-old Israeli was charged with spying for Iran in exchange for money.

According to the Times of Israel, “the minor made contact with an Iranian agent on Telegram, filmed footage of a hospital, residential neighborhoods, and was asked to spy on Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and spray paint messages.”

The reality is that Qatar is seeking to end the conflict after suffering significant damage to its economy. Iranian missile and drone attacks caused extensive damage to liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in Ras Laffan and other areas (QatarEnergy reported that up to 17% of its LNG export capacity was affected for several years). Following a lull in Iranian attacks in recent days, relations between Iran and Qatar are beginning to recover, after Tehran threatened new attacks in retaliation for the petro-monarchy’s support of the United States.

However, Qatar’s “normalization” with Iran poses a challenge for the country. If Doha opposes the use of its territory as a launchpad for attacks by its U.S. partner—which maintains bases in the country and has some 10,000 troops deployed there—Washington could pressure Doha at a time of tension with an alliance that is not functioning as such. The same would apply to Israel, which could launch retaliatory strikes against Qatar itself or against Gaza-based militias.

Nevertheless, this could trigger a domino effect in which Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain might seek similar agreements. This would weaken the united front against Iran and open the door to a broader de-escalation in the region, causing the United States to lose bargaining power and making its vision for peace increasingly implausible.
