PNN – The Zionist regime is clearly following the expansion of the circle of war in the region, and this has led to various views about Tel Aviv’s goals at the current stage.
Facing the military stalemate in Gaza and under international pressure to agree to a ceasefire, the Zionist regime opened a front in the north of the occupied territories and prepared the ground for an invasion of this country by exploding the communication equipment of the Lebanese Hezbollah.
According to the recent announcement of the United Nations, the large-scale attack of the Zionists on the south and east of Lebanon left more than 90,000 displaced people, and of course, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lebanon has declared this number to be half a million people.
In an interview with an Iraqi media, the Minister of Health of Lebanon has informed about the martyrdom of nearly 800 people and the wounding of hundreds of Lebanese citizens as a result of Israeli attacks. According to “Firas Abeez”, more than 160 of them were women and children, and 2,000 people were wounded since the beginning of the Israeli regime’s airstrikes on Lebanon.
Regarding the developments in the region and Israel’s attack on Lebanon, “Hassan Beheshtipour”, an expert on international issues, and “Mehdi Motaharnia”, a member of the academic staff of the Islamic Azad University and a future researcher, said:

Netanyahu’s claim: We will continue the ceasefire negotiations in Lebanon
Netanyahu wants to transfer his personal crisis to the region
According to Beheshtipour, the decision to expand the circle of war and attack Lebanon is related to Netanyahu personally, because he sees the survival of his government in the development of war in the Middle East. He wants the war to continue until mid-autumn, when the elections are held in America, and he hopes that with the victory of “Donald Trump” in this election, the crisis of the cases opened for him in the occupied territories will end and this crisis will be resolved.
This international expert adds: Netanyahu sees himself in a critical situation and wants to transfer this crisis to the region, and the only way is to develop and continue this war.
Israel seeks “counter-incident” after Al-Aqsa storm
Referring to the Zionist regime’s attempt to take advantage of the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation as a “countermeasure” or in other words to turn a threat into an opportunity, Motaharnia states: The doctrine of limiting international cooperation with Iran and the regional blockade of Tehran in the form of the Arab-Hebrew-Western coalition or the Abraham peace and then turning this doctrine in 2018 into the doctrine of presenting Iran as a threat to regional order and the security of the international system, with the theory of “death by “Thousand Knives” was added and it became operational after October 7.
The Zionist regime openly stated very broad goals; The destruction of Hamas and then the release of the hostages; Apparently, these specialist goals were not chosen, while considering the background of the matter, it was correctly stated, because in the light of it, the radius of the circle of the Israeli army’s military operations expanded with the preparation it had prepared in advance. Gaza was razed to the ground, after Gaza they came to Rafah, then to the Philadelphia crossing and then to the north of Israel and the southern borders of Lebanon. They carried out much targeted assassinations and then started a full-scale war with Lebanon as the axis arm of the resistance.
The Zionist plan to expand the circle of conflicts
Motaharnia adds: The expansion of the radius of the circle of war cannot be limited to Lebanon, as its very obvious symptoms occurred at its peak, in the assassination of “Ismail Haniyeh” in Tehran. Therefore, I must say that what I mentioned after the Ukraine war, that is, the “boa hunting for Moscow and Tehran” scenario, has now manifested itself more than before, because the boa hunters have put their foot in the hole of the snake’s nest.
After October 7, it was announced by Iran and the defenders of Hamas that entering Gaza would cause an all-out uprising in Islamic countries and the West. The same discussion was raised about Rafah, and it was the same about entering the Philadelphia crossing. Now, considering that the Israelis launched attacks on Ansarullah, they have now gone to Hezbollah as the last bastion of proxies in the region, and in the next step, they may target Hashd al-Shaabi in Iraq and then want to enter into a conflict with Iran.
