WSJ: Iran tells Arab diplomats it doesn’t care if attack on Israel will spark war
Iran has rejected Arab diplomats’ calls for restraint in an anticipated attack on Israel, people familiar with the dialogue tell The Wall Street Journal.
Iran says it doesn’t care if its response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh last week in Tehran, which it blames on Israel, will lead to war, the unnamed sources say.
Israel has not admitted involvement in Haniyeh’s assassination.
