US Secretary of State Tony Blinken has warned his G7 counterparts of a potential attack on Israel by Iran and Hezbollah, possibly as early as Monday. According to three sources familiar with the call, Blinken convened the conference call to coordinate with key US allies and implement last-minute diplomatic pressure on Iran and Hezbollah to limit their retaliation.
Blinken emphasized that containing the extent of any attacks is crucial to avoid a full-scale war. The call highlights the heightened tension in the region following recent events, including the killing of a senior Iranian general by Israel in Syria.
The US government is actively working to de-escalate the situation and prevent further conflict. It remains unclear what specific actions Iran and Hezbollah are planning, and the situation is evolving rapidly. We will continue to provide updates as they become available.
