Iran, Khamenei
Report: Iran's Khamenei agrees to delay attack on Israel
As tensions simmer in the Middle East, reports emerge of a potential pause in Iran's plans to strike Israel, hinging on delicate diplomatic maneuvers and the volatile dynamics of the ongoing Gaza conflict.


Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reportedly convinced Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to postpone Iran's anticipated attack on Israel, according to Kuwait's Al-Jarida newspaper.
The report, citing an unnamed senior Iranian official, suggests this decision is linked to ongoing U.S. efforts to broker a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel in Gaza.
Key points from the report:
1. Pezeshkian allegedly sought to delay Iran's response while the U.S. intensifies efforts to advance ceasefire talks.
2. Iran and its proxies would reportedly halt hostilities if Hamas agrees to a ceasefire.
3. Khamenei reportedly opposes striking Mossad elements in neighboring countries, insisting any response must occur within Israel.
4. The source emphasized that Khamenei's final decision remains unpredictable.
5. Pezeshkian previously succeeded in delaying Iran's response to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by at least two weeks.
6. The U.S. has reportedly sent a message to Khamenei clarifying that its increased military presence in the region is intended to prevent, not initiate, conflict.
This development comes amid heightened tensions in the region and increased U.S. military buildup in response to Iran's threats. The situation remains fluid, with the potential for rapid changes in Iran's stance or actions.
