Iran faces dilemma of restraint or revenge for attacks on ally Hezbollah .

President Masoud Pezeshkian said Israel 's attacks on Lebanon could not go unanswered.

Iran has armed, funded and trained both armed groups, but relies on Hezbollah to be a major deterrent.

Iran is concerned attacking Israel could provoke US military response, dragging the country into a broader conflict.

However, if Iran refrains from direct intervening in Hezbollah ’s conflict with Israel , it risks sending a signal to other allied militias in the region that, in times of crisis, the Islamic Republic may prioritize its own survival and interests over theirs. This could weaken Iran ’s influence and alliances across the region..
