This is the beginning of my new thread on the sub-topic of Trump and Netanyahu's war of aggression in Iran, the death of mass-murder culprit Khamenei and related, as well as the preceding widespread protests in Iran against the Iran-theocracy.

"The Israeli military said it struck assets of a financial institution on Monday already sanctioned by Washington for funding Hezbollah activities"

Abbasabad Police Station, east-central Tehran, destroyed.
But... the surrounding destruction seems HUGE.Consider that
"Rule 14. Launching an attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated, is prohibited."

UNHCR is deeply concerned about the escalation of conflict in the Middle East and its impact on civilians and further displacement in the region.Many affected countries already host millions of refugees and internally displaced people. Further violence risks overwhelming humanitarian capacities and placing additional pressure on host communities.
We echo the UN Secretary-General’s urgent call for dialogue and de-escalation, respect for human rights, the protection of civilians and full adherence to international law.

Widening hostilities across the Middle East are putting civilian lives in grave danger. The scale of major military operations flaring across the Middle East risks embroiling the region – and beyond – into another large-scale armed conflict that will overwhelm any humanitarian response. Without urgent steps to de-escalate the situation and respect the rules of war, further civilian lives will be lost.Civilians are already suffering the consequences of war. All parties to armed conflict have an obligation to uphold the rules of war, which are unequivocal. Civilians and civilian infrastructure must be spared from hostilities. Schools must remain sanctuaries for learning where children can feel safe and protected from attacks, and hospitals must remain sanctuaries for saving lives.
Medical personnel and first responders, such as the Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies, must be protected in all circumstances and be able to carry out their work safely. All parties must allow and facilitate safe and unrestricted access for impartial humanitarian assistance to reach those in need.

Hezbollah is one of the most mainstream parties, one of the traditional power elite in Lebanon with at the latest parliamentary elections one fifth of the votes, making it the third most voted for party and a member of the current government, Iran's imperialist power projection force in the country with Hezbollah's armed wing considered militarily stronger than Lebanon's army.
If they don't want to be banned, they won't be banned and if the government tries to enforce it Hezbollah would smash the country into pieces possibly worse than Israel has managed to do so far, just as Hezbollah has been the primary smashing the people in Lebanon any time they have been rising to demand an end to corruption, sectarianism and elitism. -
