After the death of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, Iran has warned of opening a front against Israel. Iran blames Israel for Haniyeh’s death. However, Israel has not taken responsibility for it. Israel has also replied to Iran in harsh words that if it attacks, even Netanyahu’s army will not sit quiet. Meanwhile, sensing the growing regional threats in the Middle East, America has issued a warning. America says that if Iran attacks Israel, it can have serious consequences.
A senior US official on Friday issued a clear warning that “if Iran attacks Israel, it could have serious and catastrophic consequences, which could also threaten the prospects of peace talks in the Gaza conflict.” The official said that the US advises Iran not to move in this direction, as this could have particularly difficult consequences for Iran.
US President Joe Biden also gave positive signals in the context of the Gaza war on Friday. He said that after 10 months of long fighting, the possibility of a ceasefire is now closer than ever. US mediators have presented a proposal during two days of talks in Qatar, which could be an important step towards reducing differences between the two sides.
The official said that Hezbollah has already opened a front against Israel after the incident of October 7. Now if Iran does something like this at this time, then the possibility of ceasefire and release of hostages will be in danger.
Iran has issued a stern warning to Israel following the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31. In response, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz held a crucial meeting with his British and French counterparts on Friday in which he tried to ensure that if Iran attacks Israel, Britain and France will strike inside Iran. US officials reacted to this by saying that the US, Britain and France are prepared for all possible scenarios and will take necessary steps to defend Israel against any attack by Iran.
