Iran on the verge of “significant strikes”. Biden calls leaders of Italy, France, UK and Germany –

Iran should renounce the attack on Israel. The appeal of US President Joe Biden and four European leaders, including Giorgia Meloni and the leaders of Great Britain, Germany and France came unanimously in a phone call to discuss tensions in the Middle East, including Iran’s threats of an attack on Israel. The White House reported. “We must be prepared for what could be a series of significant attacks,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters, adding that Washington shares Israel’s assessments of the possibility of an attack “this week”.

“We called on Iran to abandon its ongoing threats of a military attack against Israel and discussed the grave consequences for regional security if such an attack were to take place,” reads the statement released by the White House and signed by “the leaders of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy.” “We discussed the situation in the Middle East. We expressed our full support for ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions and reach a ceasefire and hostage release agreement in Gaza. We supported the joint call by President Biden, Egyptian President al-Sisi and Qatar’s Amir Tamim to renew talks this week with the aim of concluding the agreement as soon as possible, and we emphasized that there is no more time to waste,” the leaders said. “All parties must assume their responsibilities” and “unrestricted delivery and distribution of aid is needed. We have expressed our support for Israel’s defense against Iranian aggression and attacks by terrorist groups supported by Iran,” the leaders of the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy concluded.

Tehran’s response to the assassination of the Hamas political leader seems inevitable and perhaps imminent. “Israel believes there is a growing possibility that Iran and its proxies will attack in the coming days. We share this concern and are therefore coordinating with Israel and other partners in the region,” Kirby said, according to journalist Barak Ravid on the Walla website.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, after a phone call with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran Ali Bagheri, revealed to Tg4 that “My Iranian colleague told me that the reaction is inevitable”. Worrying signals are coming from the US media. According to Fox News, which cites “regional sources” who express their “concern”, the Iranian attack against Israel could happen “in the next 24 hours”.
