Iran is fully ideologically and politically committed to the liberation of Palestine and to the fight against Zionism and the forces of US imperialism in their region. I believe that they have a plan and know when and if it will be appropriate to intervene directly, or if it is smarter to continue working through proxies. There was a time when i did not have such a high opinion of Iran and their capabilities (and i will fully admit this was me as an atheist being prejudiced against them) but the more i have studied their actions over the years the more they have impressed me with their strategic patience and their ability to play the long game just like Russia and China.
Hezbollah is already beginning to become involved on the northern front. It takes time for these sorts of things to develop. There is a bigger picture of the entire conflict in the middle east that extends beyond just what is happening in Gaza, and big players like Iran have to consider all of the various fronts and actors involved before making a move.
All i will say for now is we have to wait and see what happens. What i can tell you for certain is that this is just beginning. I can imagine for instance many of the other forces on the side of the resistance waiting to make their move until the IOF have committed themselves irreversibly to a ground incursion into Gaza and are bogged down in urban guerilla warfare.
It appears very much that Hamas has set a trap and that the occupation regime is walking right into it.
That is the unfortunate reality of decolonization and national liberation struggles. The liberation of Algeria from French colonialism was extremely bloody, the fight against apartheid South Africa in Angola, liberation wars across Africa and Latin America, and of course we know about the bloody toll of conflicts like the war in Vietnam…
But the occupation, apartheid and slow genocide that has been happening in Palestine for decades is no less gruesome and grotesque, and the Palestinian people have decided that if they are to die they will at least do so fighting against their oppressor.
