Iran, Hezbollah could begin Israel attack as early as Monday: report

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has told his counterparts from the G7 that an attack on Israel by Iran and Hezbollah could begin as early as Monday, Al Jazeera reports according to Axios.

Citing three unnamed sources briefed on developments, the US media outlet says Blinken convened a conference call to coordinate with US allies and put diplomatic pressure on Iran and Hezbollah to minimise their retaliation over last week’s killings of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.

During the call, Blinken stressed that limiting the impact of the strikes was the best chance to prevent a wider war in the region, according to Axios.
