While the timing for Iran's revenge against Israel for the assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, as well as for the killing of senior Hezbollah leader Fouad Shukr in the southern suburbs of Beirut late last month, remains unclear—fluctuating between a few days and weeks according to American and Israeli assessments—it seems that Hezbollah has decided to delay its response. A source close to Hezbollah hinted at this postponement, stating, "We can say that Hezbollah will not launch its retaliatory attack during the Qatar negotiations on the ceasefire in Gaza." The reason, according to the same source, is that the Iran-backed group does not want to assume responsibility for disrupting the negotiations that began Thursday, or for the possibility of reaching an agreement that could lead to a truce in the Palestinian territory and the release of prisoners from both sides (Israeli and Palestinian), as reported by the Washington Post. The source added that "revenge can be delayed; it's not urgent or time-sensitive," as expressed by the source who preferred to remain anonymous.
