According to a report by the Wall Street Journal on the 2nd, an Iranian diplomat said that it would be futile for multiple countries to try to persuade Iran not to retaliate against Israel, and Iran would launch a "lightning-hard" counterattack.

An Iranian diplomat who has been briefed by the Iranian government reportedly revealed that it is fruitless for multiple countries to persuade Iran not to escalate the situation in light of Israel's recent attacks. "It is meaningless. Israel has crossed all red lines and we will launch a lightning and hard response," the official said.

Several anonymous Arab officials have said that they have warned Iran on behalf of Israel and the United States that if the Lebanese Hezbollah and Iran respond too aggressively, such as attacking Tel Aviv or the Israeli hinterland, Israel is ready to "go to war." Iranian officials responded that they understand the risks of escalation, but the government is under "internal pressure from hard-line supporters demanding retaliation."

The source also said that Iran and Hezbollah believed that the response to Israel "should be more severe than the shelling launched in April" in any case. Hezbollah also said that the response might not be a single attack, but a series of actions.

On August 1, Hezbollah leader Nasrallah said that the conflict with Israel has entered a "new stage" and that he would respond to Israel because Israel has "crossed the red line." Earlier on July 30, Hezbollah's senior military commander, Shukur, was killed in an Israeli attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Hamas issued a statement on July 31 saying that Hamas Political Bureau leader Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli air strike at his residence in Tehran, the Iranian capital.

Hamas reportedly blamed Israel and the United States for Haniyeh's death and said there would be no response to the attack.

On August 2, local time, Sabrina Singer, deputy spokesperson for the US Pentagon, said that US Secretary of Defense Austin has ordered adjustments to the US military posture, increasing the US military presence in the Middle East and strengthening US support for Israel.
