Iran should refrain from attacking Israel in case of ceasefire in Gaza 03:58

A ceasefire agreement in Gaza could prevent Iran from directly attacking Israel in response to the assassination of Hamas Politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh, the agency reported. Reuters He referred to Iranian officials.

According to the sources, only the existence of this agreement could prevent Iran from taking retaliatory action. If the talks in Gaza fail or Tehran believes Israel is following suit, Iran could launch a direct attack together with allies such as the Lebanese Hezbollah movement. It was not stated how long Iran would wait for progress in the negotiations before taking action.

One of the sources noted that the ceasefire in Gaza would provide Iran with a less significant “symbolic” opportunity to respond. The agency also said Iran would support its allies if they decide to take action in response to the killings of Haniyeh and high-profile Hezbollah commander Fuad Shokr.
