Mediation efforts to stop Iran from retaliation ‘unsuccessful’: Analysis
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Abas Aslani, a political analyst at the Tehran-based Center for Middle East Strategic Studies, reported that several countries have failed to convince Tehran to retract its decision to respond to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Aslani noted that mediation efforts to make Tehran reconsider its response to Israel have been unsuccessful. He added that Jordan’s foreign minister is visiting Tehran to de-escalate tensions, given the heightened risk of regional conflict. Jordan, which shot down Iranian missiles and drones in April, is concerned about potential repercussions if the situation escalates. Aslani anticipates a coordinated attack from Iran and its allies, which could involve casualties and may unfold over time.
