Security tensions: Iran threatens retaliation for attack in Beirut
In the last day, security tension has increased regarding the possibility of an Iranian response following an Israeli attack in Beirut. An Iranian official was quoted in Amit Segal and Israel News IL as saying that "a severe response is on the way." Similar reports also appeared in Daphna Liel and in other sources such as Ziv Rubinstein - Until the war ends.
At the same time, it was published in Nitzan Shapira on Telegram and 12 Corner 99 that the US is working behind the scenes and offering Iran "economic incentives in exchange for non-retaliation" for the attack in Beirut. In Voice of the News on Telegram they emphasized that this is heavy American pressure being applied to Tehran in an attempt to prevent regional escalation.
On the other hand, the Iranians are rejecting the proposal outright. In a report by 12 Corner 99 and Without Censorship, it was claimed that Iran replied: "We rejected the proposal, we will not betray our allies." Conversely, the channel GLOBAL ANALYST, which presents a position critical of the Israeli and American administrations, emphasizes Tehran's consistency in its refusal of the economic proposals.
On the issue of the implications of the attack, the channel Refael Hayun - Field Security raised doubts regarding the timing of the attack in Beirut, arguing that it might disrupt an "important process" of a regional peace agreement that is allegedly in the making, while calling on all parties to stop the exchange of fire and return to a path of calm.
