Iran May Reconsider Its Decision to Launch a Large-Scale Attack on Israel

Iran may reconsider its decision to carry out a massive attack on Israel in the coming days, following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Palestinian radical Hamas movement's political bureau, in Tehran. This is reported by Politico, citing American officials.

It is noted that the U.S. is still waiting for a response from Iran regarding Haniyeh's assassination but does not believe such an attack will occur in the near future, as Tehran has revised its initial response plan.

Two senior officials from the U.S. administration have stated that Washington has warned Tehran that a large-scale strike would only escalate tensions and increase the risk of direct confrontation between the parties. They clarified that the U.S. has also urged Iran to reconsider its reaction regarding Haniyeh's death, advising that it should not be viewed as part of a larger operation.

Officials indicate that Iran is increasingly accepting the U.S. perspective, after initially rejecting it.
