While the Americans are seeking to contain the escalation, the deadlock in the negotiations is being reflected on the ground and making the situation more complicated. However, according to diplomatic sources, Hezbollah will not expand the battle in the south for now and wants to preserve the existing status quo while consolidating its positions north of the Litani, particularly at al-Taher, pending the Iranian decision, which remains contingent on the prospects of an Iranian-American confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz. However, any developments in Iran could ignite the situation on the ground along the southern front.
