US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken reportedly held an urgent conference call with G7 foreign ministers to discuss the situation. During the call, Blinken emphasized the need for coordinated diplomatic efforts to minimize retaliatory actions from Iran and Hezbollah following the recent killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.
Axios, citing three anonymous sources familiar with the matter, reported that Blinken stressed the importance of limiting the scope of any potential strikes. He argued that this approach offers the best chance to prevent the conflict from escalating into a wider regional war.
The report comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with concerns growing about potential repercussions from last week’s targeted killings. The international community remains on high alert as diplomatic channels work to defuse the situation.
As events continue to unfold, world leaders are closely monitoring developments and considering potential responses to maintain regional stability.
