Some in Hizbullah Say Iran Failed to Come to Their Aid
(Washington Post) Susannah George - "Support from other members of the resistance axis, including Yemen and Iraq, was minimal at best," said an individual close to Hizbullah and familiar with the group's thinking. He blamed Iran for not providing more support during the war and said Hizbullah had expected other Iran-backed groups to relieve some of the pressure by ramping up their own attacks on Israel. "Tehran was unwilling to escalate the situation," he said. Iranian officials have again pledged to fund Lebanon's recovery. But after decades of U.S. and international sanctions, as well as a spiraling currency crisis, it's unclear whether Iran has the resources to rehabilitate swaths of Lebanon.
