The United States of America and other countries have called on Iran to tone down its response to the killing of a Hamas political leader, but Tehran has rejected those appeals.
Iranian authorities have told Arab diplomats that they don't care if Israel's response provokes war, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources. Thus, Washington asked the governments of European and other partner countries to send a signal to Tehran about the refusal of escalation.
They warned that a serious attack would provoke a corresponding reaction, while a show of restraint would give the new president a better chance of improving relations with the West. The message also mentioned that the White House is putting pressure on Israel in this matter.
Yesterday, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi also visited Tehran. He said that this time the country will also intercept air targets that will fly to Israel through Jordanian airspace.
Iran has already begun to investigate the death of the head of the Hamas politburo, Ismail Hania. The investigation is trying to identify everyone who "showed negligence or knowingly collaborated with Israel." Sources of the publication report that some employees of the services have already been interrogated. Politicians in Tehran say the latest attack exposed intelligence failures in Iran's security services.
