The accumulation of events in the West Bank following the Sword of Jerusalem battle in May 2021 marked a turning point, leading to a shift toward diverse armed resistance.

In an interview with Al-Estiklal, Iranian researcher and dissident Yousef Azizi stated that the Iranian regime is unlikely to engage in direct conflict with “Israel” or the US, opting instead for threats.

As Iran considers its response to Israel's assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Western reports suggest Tehran is delaying to allow for negotiations to halt the Gaza assault.

Hamas' decision to boycott the August 15 negotiations, the first major move under its new leader Yahya Sinwar, marks a new phase in its strategy, signaling a firm rejection of negotiating under fire and conspiracy.

As "Israel" and Iran's conflict escalates, speculation grows about Iran resuming attacks on Israeli targets abroad, especially as Israel continues its strikes in Iran and Syria.
