The Wall Street Journal.
People familiar with the issue told the publication that General Ismail Qaani, commander of Iran's elite Quds Special Forces Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, "had held a series of clandestine meetings with militant leaders across the region in recent weeks," including some of the them operating in Syria and Iraq. The Iranian commander wants to gather everyone and, having coordinated their actions, direct them to a joint fight against Israel.
In addition, according to Iranian journalist Khayal Muazzin, who refers to the words of a high-ranking but unnamed general in his Telegram channel, Hezbollah managed to deliver modern weapons to Lebanon that pose a threat to Israeli gas platforms, Navy ships and Israeli Air Force aircraft. . The transfer of weapons to Lebanese territory was carried out from Iran and Syria.
Note that Hezbollah is a local Lebanese paramilitary group that is fighting for the creation of an Islamic state in the country, following the example of Iran.
