BEIRUT - On the eve of the unprecedented attacks on Israel’s Merkava tanks by Hezbollah, the Axis of Resistance’s peoples have literally received the “Israeli retaliation” on Iran with mockery and disdain.

Observers believe that the purpose of this “attack” is symbolic, meaning that Tehran has succeeded through Operation “True Promise 2” in securing its own deterrence. Others consider that it indicates the reactivation of international policy after it had been in favor of the colonial Israeli entity during the past year, due to the US absolute support to Netanyahu’s hysteria and narcissism. This confirms Washington’s desire not to take further risks and to be satisfied with the alleged achievements so far, including “weakening” the resistance movements, Hezbollah, Hamas and others, amid real fears of what the Iranian response – “True Promise 3” - would bring if the “Israeli retaliation” is harder.

Meanwhile, the eyes of the whole world are on Lebanon, on the steadfastness of the Lebanese, on the heroism of Hezbollah, on the shrewdness of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, the diplomatic resistance leader, and on the wisdom of the wise political factions in not fulfilling the Zionists’ desire to be dragged into an internal conflict that would facilitate the failed US-oriented Israeli mission.
 
On the border with Palestine, an unparalleled legendary epic is taking place between two forces that are unequal in terms of equipment. One has tremendous technological and firepower superiority. The other only excels in its high spirit and the justice of its legitimate cause, succeeding in humiliating dozens of Merkava tanks. So far, 37 tanks have been crushed on the edge of the border, failing to fully invade any of the villages that the occupation regime has hysterically been bombing since October 8, 2023.

In practice, this legendary success of Hezbollah has forced the occupation leaders to recalculate their illusory “victories,” i.e. the assassinations and the massacres against civilians, journalists and paramedics. The corpses of its soldiers in the corridors of hospitals in northern occupied Palestine no longer leave them room to boast about what they have “achieved”.

In the same context, statements from inside the occupied territories continue to be declared through Hebrew media about the imminent cessation of the “ground operation” in Lebanon, which has failed miserably. 

Monsters usually enjoy shedding blood, so retreat will not be easy for Netanyahu, a monster who escaped from the Western stable of savagery. Nevertheless, Hezbollah’s second miraculous birth from the womb of seasoned commanders will soon make this malicious monster feel that its intoxication has pushed it to devour the flesh of itself and its corrupt gods, i.e. the “wild West”. 

Just a few days away from the presidential elections, it seems that the Democrats are seeking to control the war in the “Middle East” and achieve a settlement if possible by taking into consideration Netanyahu’s intransigence and his clear blackmail of Trump.

Indeed, the failed aggression against Iran confirms the hypothesis that Washington allowed a limited, framed strike, as it is wary of Netanyahu’s malice, as it is wary of Iran’s ability to drown the aggressive West in a prolonged war, close waterways, and exhaust the global economy to the point of collapse. In turn, the Yemeni front seems most capable of strangling the global economy comprehensively. 

Waiting for the election results seems useful and painful at the same time. After that, either a major agreement will result in the region or a full-fledged war. For this reason, Netanyahu is trying by all means to boost Trump’s success by portraying Harris as a failure to support Israel.

If Trump wins, the Russia-Ukraine crisis will diminish as Trump is expected to establish a settlement with Russia. Consequently, the chances of a major settlement in West Asia will likely accelerate, in which Iran’s policies of strategic patience will bear fruit. However, an “unknown” event can change the scenarios, especially in a political world led by bloodthirsty psychopaths, such as Netanyahu.
