Vance Hints RELOADING OIL For RESTART Of War
What was said
"The Iranians tell me that they've only used about 40% of their offensive capability against Israel during the war because they didn't need to because Hezbollah was so active. And this diverted Israeli forces and defense capabilities because they had to face that front from Hezbollah as well."
Trita Parsi disclosed that Iranian officials told him Tehran deployed only 40 percent of its offensive capabilities during the recent conflict because Hezbollah's involvement was so effective at diverting Israeli resources. This revelation contradicts public perceptions about Iran's military performance and suggests the Islamic Republic retained significant military capacity in reserve. Parsi explained that Hezbollah's role has been vastly underreported due to Israeli censorship during the war.
