🚨 SBR EXCLUSIVE -🇮🇷Iran’s Masterclass in Proxy Timing 📍 Hezbollah Activation — Iran did not activate Hezbollah until U.S.–Iran talks intensified and Iran had to regroup and rebuild from continuous exhaustion. 📍For that, Iran diverted Israeli focus from the Iran to Northern Israel by activating Hezbollah and made the most damage to Israel and now Hezbollah is in Rebuilding phase and Iran is back on war. 📍 Houthis Activation — As Hezbollah needed time for regrouping and rebuilding and the peace talks failed, Iran activated Ansar Allah (Houthis) to counter Saudi Arabia as they were planning for large scale airstrikes in Iran. 📍 The Rotating Model — While Hezbollah was on the frontlines, the Houthis built up reserves. 📍Now the Houthis take center stage while Hezbollah rebuilds, maintaining non-stop asymmetric pressure without burning out its entire network simultaneously.
