The US sent a confidential message to Iran, while Khamenei threatened to strike Israel.

The US administration warned Iran against a possible attack on Israel, saying it would not be able to hold the Jewish state. A secret signal was sent to Iran about the danger of a new attack against the backdrop of a threat from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Washington warned the Iranian side that it would not be able to prevent Israeli retaliatory actions.

The American side told the Iranians that it could not guarantee that a possible Israeli attack on Iran would be as balanced as the previous one. The warning was conveyed to the Iranian regime and communicated to the Israeli official through Swiss intermediaries. Parliamentary official Esmail Kousari said Tehran plans to retaliate against Israel by cooperating with Iranian proxies in the region.

American Administration Speaker Karine Jean-Pierre stressed that Washington clearly called on Iran to refrain from attacks on Israel and to continue supporting the Jewish state. The Pentagon announced the deployment of additional military forces to the Middle East, including B-52 strategic bombers. Khamenei threatened to deal a “crushing” blow to Israel and the United States. The media wrote that the leader of the Iranian regime ordered the preparation of a retaliatory strike against Israel after the presidential elections in the United States. Tehran has already directly attacked Israeli territory twice.
