Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, citing American and Israeli sources, reports that an attack could happen as early as Monday.
Jordan tries to mediate
Given the threat of Iranian retaliation against Israel, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi traveled to Tehran. Local media reports said he wanted to speak with Iran's acting foreign minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, to dissuade the country from taking military action against Israel.
According to official information from Cairo, the Foreign Minister of Egypt, Badr Abdel-Atti, in a telephone conversation with Khan, requested that all parties exercise calmness and restraint so that the situation in the Middle East does not get out of control. According to Iranian media reports, Iran has so far rejected all attempts at mediation.
Biden criticizes the killing of the leader of Hamas
According to US President Joe Biden, the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniya in the Iranian capital Tehran could make it more difficult to reach an agreement on a ceasefire and the release of hostages in the hands of the Islamist Hamas.
According to the New York Times, Biden responded to a related question in an interview with reporters, where he said: "It didn't help." In a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden expressed the view that Haniya's killing came at an inopportune time, the newspaper reported, citing a US official.
