How Iran's IRGC rebooted Lebanon's Hezbollah to be ready for war
The IRGC deployed about 100 officers to restructure Hezbollah into decentralized small units and coordinate missile attacks from Iran and Lebanon, enabling renewed regional conflict participation.
- On March 21, two sources said the IRGC rebuilt Hezbollah's military command after it was mauled by Israel in 2024, restructuring Hezbollah and planning new missile attacks.
- After heavy 2024 losses, including the death of Hassan Nasrallah and other commanders, Iran moved to plug gaps in Hezbollah's command, deploying IRGC officers shortly after the November 2024 ceasefire.
- IRGC-Deployed advisers retrained fighters and oversaw rearmament with about 100 officers, reshaping Hezbollah into small cells; Andreas Krieg said, 'That decentralized model that they've now implemented is also a bit more like what Hezbollah looked like in the 1980s- very small cells'.
- Since March 2, Hezbollah has fired hundreds of missiles at Israel, prompting an Israeli offensive that killed more than 1,000 people in Lebanon, while IRGC plans produced simultaneous launches on March 11.
- Lebanese officials say asking IRGC-linked people to depart complicates efforts to disarm Hezbollah, while Lebanon's government and U.S.-backed Lebanese military face uncertainty over Hezbollah's strength below its peak from a few years ago.
