Israel Accuses Iran of Resupplying Houthi and Hezbollah Militants
Iranian officials assert that they successfully repelled Israeli attacks last June and claim victory in a 12-day conflict. However, an Israeli security official has revealed that Tehran is actively working to restore its military capabilities following this confrontation.
In an interview with an Israeli broadcasting agency on Sunday, the official stated that Iran is "racing against time to rearm" due to fears of another Israeli operation on its territory. He also mentioned that Iran is supplying weapons to the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The official further noted that Iran has recently intensified arms smuggling operations into the West Bank, which he described as efforts to facilitate operations within Israel.
Additionally, he confirmed that Iran is focused on rebuilding the military capabilities of the Houthis while also supplying arms to various groups active in Syria in anticipation of a possible new confrontation with Israel.
Regarding Lebanon, the security source indicated that Iran is aware that Israel may be compelled to take action after December 31, when a deadline for disarming Hezbollah is set, heightening concerns among Israeli security services.
In late June, Israel conducted a surprise attack on Iranian territory, targeting military sites and nuclear facilities, and executed assassination operations against numerous Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists, actions viewed as significant breaches of Iranian security.
Since this attack, Iranian officials claim that they have not only rebuilt but also enhanced their military capabilities to become "stronger and more effective" than before the Israeli strike.
