Iran has warned it will retaliate against Israel after Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed Tehran is planning a large-scale military attack.
In response, the U.S. announced it is sending the USS Georgia, a nuclear-powered submarine, to the Middle East, amid growing fears that Iran and its allies are gearing up to avenge the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
With tensions soaring, Israel's air force commander, Major General. Tomer Bar, has banned officers from traveling abroad and ordered soldiers in Georgia and Azerbaijan to return home immediately.
Iran's acting foreign minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, made Iran's stance clear in a conversation with his Chinese counterpart, according to state media.
Meanwhile, leaders from France, Germany, and Britain have urged Iran to avoid any retaliatory actions that could escalate tensions further after the killings of Haniyeh and a Hezbollah leader in Beirut last month.
