Nasrallah’s rise to the top of Hezbollah came in 1992 after Israeli forces assassinated his mentor, Musawi.
Norman Roule, a veteran intelligence officer, told Radio Farda, the Iranian branch of the US government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that Nasrallah’s successor, whoever it may be, will struggle to match his political stature and his personal relationship with Iran’s supreme leader.
Simultaneously, Hezbollah expanded its reach beyond the battlefield, establishing a vast social welfare network, including hospitals and schools, and positioning itself as a dominant political force in Lebanon, with the pro-Hezbollah bloc now holding 62 of the 128 seats in Parliament.
