DUBAI/BEIRUT: Solely a ceasefire deal in Gaza stemming from hoped-for talks this week would maintain Iran again from direct retaliation towards Israel for the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh on its soil, three Iranian officers stated.Iran has vowed a extreme response to Haniyeh’s killing, which it blamed on Israel. Israel has neither confirmed or denied its involvement.The US navy has deployed warships and a submarine to West Asia to bolster Israeli defences.One of many sources stated Iran, together with allies corresponding to Hezbollah, would launch a direct assault if the Gaza talks fail or it perceives Israel is dragging out negotiations. The sources didn’t say how lengthy Iran would enable for talks to progress earlier than responding. Amid the elevated threat of a broader warfare, Iran has been concerned in dialogue with Western nations on methods to calibrate retaliation, stated the sources.
