Only a ceasefire deal in Gaza stemming from hoped-for talks this week would hold Iran back from direct retaliation against Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on its soil, three senior Iranian officials said.

Iran has vowed a severe response to Haniyeh's killing, which took place as he visited Tehran late last month and which it blamed on Israel. Israel has neither confirmed or denied its involvement. The US Navy has deployed warships and a submarine to the Middle East to bolster Israeli defenses.

One of the sources, a senior Iranian security official, said Iran, along with allies such as Hezbollah, would launch a direct attack if the Gaza talks fail or it perceives Israel is dragging out negotiations. The sources did not say how long Iran would allow for talks to progress before responding.

Give back the kidnapped Israeli hostages
Stop firing rockets from schools, hospitals, mosques and “ humanitarian zones” est by Israel to shelter civilians
Stop meetings of hamass hole militants to plan further 10/7 attacks
Stop stabbing and bombing Israelis
….I think we might be able to work out a “ ceasefire”

Only returning hostages can bring a cease fire.

Of course most of them are probably dead by now.

So, Hamas will continue to LIE.

Go Get them Bibi.

So, order Hamas to surrender!

Yes. They're going to do all of this huffy-puffy bluster stuff, launch a few rockets which will mostly be shot down, then tell their people they gave a crushing blow to Israel.

Is Gaza part of Iran?

What business is it of Iran’s?

Everyone not associated with GAZA should probably just keep their mouths shut and let the region decide the fate. Egypt or Jordon could get involved and I would understand, as they border Israel. Iran is just causing trouble.

Perhaps if they moved everyone from GAZA to Iran so they could feel the warm embrace of their Muslim brothers.....

That’s pretty much a clear justification for a preemptive strike.

To put a sharper point on their original message, Israel should bomb into oblivion that hotel in Qatar where the political masterminds of Hamas are living the life of Reilly.
