The USA is ready to support Israel militarily – Fever of consultations in the diplomatic field to prevent the attack – On the table is the agreement for hostages and ceasefire in Gaza
Iran could attack the Israel without any warning in the coming days, US National Security Adviser John Kirby said, warning both Tel Aviv and allies in the West about what could happen in the next 24 hours.
“An attack could come with little or no warning, and it certainly could come in the next few days, and we need to be ready for it. But the messaging effort continues and will continue because what we’re really looking for is de-escalation and trying to prevent that,” said John Kirby, as all eyes are on the Doha talks on the hostages and the ceasefire in Gauze.
US determined to support Israel militarily
The US has increased its military presence in the eastern Mediterranean region and has repeatedly said it is ready to help defend Israel against an Iranian attack.
In April, during Iran’s massive missile attack on Israel, the US coordinated with Israel, Jordan, France and Britain and managed to intercept this large wave launched by the Tehran.
Kirby said the US has not confirmed what type of attack Iran could launch, so it has worked diplomatically to de-escalate the situation.
“We are still working very hard, diplomatically, to prevent this outcome, to prevent an attack, but we also have to be ready for it,” stressed Kirby.
“The US is making sure we ‘have what we need’ so that US and Israeli forces are prepared,” he added.
In light of regional tensions, both British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and French Foreign Minister Stéphane Cezournet plan to visit Israel on Friday.
A window of hope from an eventual deal on Gaza
The US had hoped that finalizing a hostage and cease-fire deal in Gaza would prevent retaliatory attacks by Iran and Hezbollah for the killings in Lebanon and Iran. The first, for which Israel took credit, was of Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukr in Beirut, and the second, for which it has not claimed responsibility, is of Hamas leader Ismail Haniya in Tehran.
Israel is at war with Hamas in Gaza on its southern border and Hezbollah in Lebanon on its northern border since October 7. The cross-border violence, however, has been seen as a limited war, even though thousands of civilians have been displaced from their homes by both sides.
