in news •  3 months ago 

"A Pentagon spokesperson told reporters on Tuesday that an attack by Iran on Israel is "certainly possible" this week, adding that the threat needs to be taken seriously, so more resources are being maneuvered to the region."

"Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder spoke with reporters and was asked about simmering tensions in the Middle East. He was asked about the Iranian threat against Israel. The White House has said an attack by Iran could come this week.

"Is an attack possible this week? That’s certainly possible," Ryder said. "The bottom line is… I’m not going to speculate or try to guess when they might attack, other than to say we need to take it seriously, and we are doing that.""

"US President Joe Biden said he does not expect Iran to carry out a retaliatory strike on Israel in response to the assassinations of Hamas and Hizbollah leaders if a deal is reached to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of Israeli hostages.

Asked whether there was any link between the possibility of attacks from Iran and its proxies and an agreement to end the Israel-Hamas war, Biden replied: “That’s my expectation”."
