The United States and its European allies have called on Tehran to “back off” from threats to attack Israel after Iran blamed Israel for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
They said an attack on Israel could trigger an all-out war across the Middle East.
On July 31, Hamas chief Haniya was assassinated. It is said that he was killed by a short-range missile attack at the hotel where he was staying in Tehran.
Hania traveled to Tehran to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s new president, Massoud Pezeshkian. A few hours before his death, Israel killed a top commander of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah in Beirut. Iran and its ally Hezbollah have announced revenge for the killing of these two leaders.
Meanwhile, in the context of that threat, the United States has sent missile submarines and aircraft carriers to the region to show their support for Israel, a close ally.
During the war in Gaza, Iran and Israel went into a confrontational position. This has increased the tension of the war in the Middle East. Now, due to the increased tension, efforts are being made by the international community to prevent Iran from carrying out the promised attack.
On Monday, Tehran was warned about this by the United States, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.
We called on Iran to desist from threatening to launch a military attack on Israel and discussed the serious consequences such an attack would have on regional security.
The White House has warned that Iran and the armed groups it supports could soon launch a “significant attack” on Israel. Israel holds the same idea.
Germany and the UK have asked Iranian President Pezeshkian to de-escalate the situation.
Pezeshkian said yesterday that his country had the right to respond to the attack.
