I'm John Batsu with Jonathan Schanser of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy

looking at the Ring of Fire strategy that Tehran boasts about in order to crush Israel,

Hamas to the south Hezbollah to the north, and we return to a headline from London in these last hours.

A senior commander of Hezbollah's elite Radwan commando unit was assassinated in an Israeli

air strike on Monday within these at last hours according to the IDF confirming this

Ali Ahmed Hasin the Radran forces commander in the Hajir region, killed in Southern Leibut along with two Hezbollah

members under his command. Radwan is the one that's been firing the anti-tank missiles,

the harassing fire along the northern border.

Radwan is a commando unit.

At the same time, there are thousands of Hezbollah who are said to be ready to attack Israel.

Jonathan, the last time we talked, their question came up,

I believe it was right after the Sahela

Hei strike in Damascus.

Why hasn't Hezbollah moved?

And as I recall, the explanation is because Iran is saving it for another punch the

day and if Israel and the United States take on the real enemy, which is Tehran.

Here we are. A week later, Hezbollah has not moved. Hamas is at this point frozen in place. So I don't want to go to just Beirut. I want to go

on to Tehran. Is it true, Jonathan, the way I've learned it these money months, that Tehran is making all of the decisions.

There's no local commander in charge of anything.

Everything here is mapped out in Tehran and Zahidi was the action commander at the front.

He's now dead.

He must be replaced.
