A Decimated Hezbollah Is a Serious Blow to Iran
Briefly

The assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has significantly undermined Iran's military strategy against Israel, forcing Tehran to consider perilous next steps.
Ali Vaez notes that Iran's options in response to Nasrallah's death range from ugly to unpalatable, indicating the severity of the situation for Tehran.
Julien Barnes-Dacey warns that the elimination of Nasrallah could escalate tensions, raising the risk of a dangerous conflict unfolding across the Middle East.
The capacity for Hezbollah to launch wider missile strikes on Israel is in question, which might compel Iran to pursue nuclear weapons as a deterrent.
