As the American newspaper Washington Post wrote, citing sources, the administration of US President Joe Biden finds it difficult to predict what Iran’s reaction will be to the murder of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrullah. According to the newspaper’s interlocutors, the United States is preparing for various response options, including attacks by pro-Iranian groups, as well as possible Iranian attacks on American soldiers in the region or on Israel.

The Israeli Air Force on Friday, September 27, carried out a targeted airstrike on the main headquarters of Hezbollah in Beirut, which was located under residential buildings in the Dahiya area. As a result of the attack, the leader of the movement, Hassan Nasrullah, was killed. The Shiite resistance confirmed the death of its commander.
