The assassination of the political leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, as a result of an assassination attempt in Iran, has increased the risk of a new war in the Middle East as a whole.

Axar.az reports that Jordanian and Lebanese interior ministers visited Iran in order to reduce tensions.

The US media wrote that despite these visits, Iran is firm in its decision and rejects calls to behave with restraint.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is said to have met with his G7 colleagues and said that Iran's expected attack could begin today.

On the other hand, it was alleged that the US government authorized the shipment of MK-83 bombs weighing half a ton to Israel for use in airstrikes.

According to information, an underground shelter has been prepared for Israeli officials. Also, taking into account the possibility that the communication systems of the country's officials will be attacked, satellite phones were distributed to them.

It is also reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who visited the United States at the end of July, wanted Biden to send heavier bombs in case of an increase in tensions with Hezbollah. It is not yet known whether Washington will accept the transfer of MK-84 bombs weighing one ton.
