Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire Monday, but the back-and-forth attacks had been raging for over 10 days, and the U.S. just bombed three Islamic Republic nuclear sites to smithereens.
You may have wondered, Where is Hezbollah? The Iranian-backed terrorists haven’t said boo or launched dozens of mostly ineffective missiles into the air, as is their usual modus operandi. In fact, where are Iran’s other proxies like the Houthis? They’ve been pretty quiet too.
They’ve likely seen what the Israelis have done to Iran and its leadership with their pinpoint airstrikes, and they want nothing to do with it. Plus, they’ve already been beaten to a pulp by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Retired General Jack Keane appeared on “Fox Business Monday” and said they see “the end” in Iran:
“They have not fired a shot to defend Iran, and that’s why they were organized. I asked the Israeli general, what is going on? Do they have any missiles left? He said, ‘General, they’ve got a few thousand missiles left,'” Keane told Larry Kudlow. “And I said, so what is it? He said, ‘There is no willing to fight because they see the end inside of Iran.'”
Keane added that Hezbollah fighters see little reason to risk their lives for a regime they believe is doomed.

Keane thinks change is coming:
“What are they going to go out there and die for? If Iran is not going to be able to survive this?” Keane asked. “Strategic change is coming.”
He reiterated his message on “Fox and Friends”:
Their spirit is shattered, Keane alleged:
Hezbollah was organized principally to defend Iran against an attack from Israel. Billions of dollars [spent on] 150,000 missiles. I've talked to the Israelis and said, "What is going on with Hezbollah? Why haven't they fired? Do they have any missiles?"
Answer: "They have Sir, they have thousands of missiles left....
"Sir, there will is broken." And they can see what has happening to Iran. Why are they going to risk all now? The Israelis will come back at them when they believe Iran is close to being finished.
In addition to watching Iran get smoked by the IDF, they themselves have suffered tremendous losses and much of their leadership has been wiped out. I’d stay out of it too if I were them.

I don’t believe we’ve seen the last of the Hezbollah fanatics; terrorists are like roaches in that you may think you’ve gotten rid of them all, only to see them magically reappear. For the time being, however, it seems that they are not willing to face the wrath of the U.S. and Israel.
