Analyst Warns of Rising Tensions as Hezbollah’s Loyalties are Put to the Test

The delicate dance between Hezbollah’s allegiance to Lebanon and its ties to Iran is causing growing unease, according to Nadim Houry, director of the Arab Reform Initiative. Houry points out that Hezbollah’s commitment to the country’s interests can sometimes be at odds with its obligations to Iran, as evidenced by its varying responses to Israel’s provocations. For instance, the group largely remained silent when Israel repeatedly breached the November 2024 ceasefire, but it swiftly opened a new front against Israel following the February assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
