Hezbollah and Iran: One Threat, Two Fronts

from The Quad · host JNS Podcasts

What if the biggest misunderstanding in the Middle East is that Hezbollah and Iran are separate actors? In this episode, you'll learn why many Israelis view Hezbollah not as an independent Lebanese movement but as Tehran's most powerful proxy force, and why that distinction changes the entire conversation. Fleur Hassan-Nahoum breaks down the history of Hezbollah's military buildup and the argument that years of international diplomacy failed to stop the threat from growing. Whether you agree or disagree, this episode will challenge conventional narratives and reveal the strategic thinking behind Israel's determination to confront Hezbollah once and for all.
