U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has alerted G7 allies that Iran may launch an attack on Israel within 24–48 hours, according to reports by Axios. 🌍 Tensions are soaring as regional retaliation risks escalate following recent high-profile assassinations in Beirut and Tehran.
Blinken stressed that pressuring Tehran to limit its response is key to preventing a wider conflict. While timing remains unclear, U.S. officials suggest strikes could begin as early as Monday. 🕒
The warning comes after Israel admitted responsibility for killing senior Hezbollah commander Fouad Shokor—a response to a deadly rocket attack in the Golan Heights that killed 12 minors. Meanwhile, Iran and allies blame Israel for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s death, vowing revenge. 🔥
Rocket exchanges along the Israel-Lebanon border have intensified, even as diplomats scramble to cool tempers. With global leaders urging restraint, the next 48 hours could reshape Middle East stability. 💥
