Washington, August 6 - U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has issued a stark warning that an attack by Iran and Hezbollah on Israel may be imminent. This information was reported by American media, including CNN, amidst growing concerns of escalating tensions in the Middle East.

The heightened alert follows the recent death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in an Israeli strike in Iran, which has intensified fears of a broader conflict. According to The Wall Street Journal, both Arab and U.S. officials have attempted to dissuade Iran from launching an attack on Israel. However, Iran and Hezbollah have reportedly communicated a clear intent to retaliate, citing the need to avenge the deaths of their leaders.

The situation remains tense, with the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh last Wednesday in Tehran and the killing of Hezbollah commander Shukhar in an Israeli missile attack in Beirut, Lebanon, adding to the volatility. The U.S. Secretary of State's warning underscores the potential for a significant escalation in violence, with the region on edge over the possibility of a new war.
