- Iran has not authorized Hezbollah to initiate attacks against Israel, and the U.S. has not permitted Israel to launch a large-scale operation in southern Lebanon.
- U.S. intervention reportedly halted recent Israeli escalations in southern Lebanon, following the most intense strikes since a June ceasefire.
- Sources indicate a lack of clear criteria for selecting nations to verify Hezbollah's disarmament, and a recent U.S. general's visit did not expand pilot zones.
Hezbollah has not received a "green light" from Iran to commence operations against Israel, according to sources speaking to Al-Arabiya's Al-Hadath channel. Similarly, Washington has not granted Israel authorization for a large-scale offensive in the Ali Taher heights.
These developments follow a period of heightened tensions and significant Israeli strikes on Lebanon, described as the bloodiest since the June ceasefire. Sources claim that U.S. intervention played a role in halting the Israeli escalation in southern Lebanon over the preceding weekend.
In parallel, the sources highlighted a lack of defined criteria for selecting countries that will participate in the verification of Hezbollah's disarmament in Lebanon. Furthermore, a recent visit by U.S. General Joseph Clearfield to Lebanon reportedly did not lead to an expansion of pilot zones for disarmament verification.
