The report comes as negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal resume between Israel and Hamas in Cairo.

Iran informed the US that it would refrain from responding to the airstrike in which senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders were killed in Damascus if a ceasefire in Gaza is reached, Jadeh Iran reported on Sunday.

The news outlet cited an anonymous Arab diplomatic source, saying the source spoke to the news outlet two days ago. The source added that “If America succeeds in containing the situation, it will be a great success for the Biden administration and we can build on that.”

    Iran is now “using Palestinians as a human shields”? What am I even reading here? Israel is trying to escalate their Genocide to a regional war.

    Iran is trying to stop israel committing Genocide and not start World War 3. A very peaceful and responsible response to israel bombing the Iranian embassy.

    If you believe that Iran doesn’t have the means to attack Israel you’re a tad short on info. We have already seen the Iron Dome is a massive failure against mass missile attacks, even Hamas owned it with pipe rockets. And Iran has far more than that.

      Ok, you avoided my question so let me ask again: What is the leverage Iran has that you speak of?

        Israel has committed a terror attack on the Iranian embassy which is a massive violation of international law. Iran has the right to defend itself which is the leverage.

        However Iran is generously presenting an option where instead of a war with massive casualties, there will be no casualties and the Genocide stops. A win win for everyone except the Genocidal Nazis in israel.
