U.S. Reportedly Warns Israel Against Unilateral Iran Strikes

Unnamed Al Arabiya sources said Washington warned Israel against carrying out unilateral military strikes on Iran. The sources said the United States is pressing Israel to avoid renewed friction in Syria and preserve de-escalation arrangements with Damascus. Israel reportedly told Washington it would continue periodic and limited strikes in Gaza and Lebanon. Neither the U.S. nor Israel publicly confirmed the report, which emerged as Washington sought to prevent wider regional escalation and keep diplomacy with Iran possible. The report gave no date for the alleged warning.
