Hezbollah has been famously and spectacularly neutered, contributing to Israel’s ability to execute last night’s strikes without the fear of incurring an additional missile barrage from the north. But with Hezbollah apparently on the sidelines, at least for now, is America still in range for the Iranian proxy and its patron?

It’s something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks as the Israeli campaign against Iranian nuclear sites unfolds with verbal support from President Trump. Several counterterrorism prosecutions in recent years have led to the disclosure of disturbing details about Iranian and Hezbollah-affiliated operatives’ efforts to scope out strategic civilian sites to hit in the U.S. as part of a terrorism campaign, presumably for a situation like the present one.
