An Israeli report indicates that the new reality in the Strait of Hormuz may lead Iran to seek new means of exerting pressure on the United States, especially following the announcement by U.S. forces that the strait is open to free navigation. This reduces Iran’s ability to threaten and increases economic pressure on it. Under these circumstances, Iran tends to escalate in various areas, particularly through Lebanon via Hezbollah, which it considers an integral part of Iran’s security infrastructure, with the aim of deterring Israel and supporting its strategic interests. Iran is likely to use Hezbollah’s activities to achieve political goals, including targeting Israeli forces in Lebanon, in an attempt to provoke an Israeli reaction that would reinforce the narrative that Israel is the one who initiated the escalation—an effort to influence the perceptions during upcoming negotiations.
