Iran reportedly convenes terror proxies to plot assassination response, Israel 'strongly prepared in defense'

Two high-profile assassinations in the Middle East prompted Iran to hold a meeting with representatives from its proxy groups to plan a response to those deaths, for which Iranian officials have blamed Israel.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, speaking Thursday at a funeral for the group’s "No.2" commander Fuad Shukr, claimed that "Israelis are happy now" but that they have "crossed a red line" and should expect "rage and revenge on all the fronts supporting Gaza," The Times of Israel reported.
