Iran has asserted that Israel has lost its deterrent power following a large-scale missile and drone attack by Hezbollah, marking one of the most intense clashes in the region amid ongoing border tensions. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani claimed that the strategic balance has shifted against Israel, which he accused of failing to anticipate Hezbollah's actions despite U.S. support. Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets and drones targeting Israeli military sites, leading to Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon aimed at thwarting further attacks. The Israeli Defense Forces reported that most of the incoming attacks were intercepted, but some damage occurred, and one Israeli soldier was killed. Both sides have expressed a desire to avoid further escalation, although the situation remains precarious and may draw in broader regional forces. The ongoing conflict heavily overlaps with the war in Gaza, raising concerns about a potential wider conflict involving Iran and the United States.
