Amid heightened tensions, Israel and Iran reportedly engaged in discreet communication facilitated by Russia, exchanging assurances not to directly strike each other’s territory. This exchange occurred as Israel was considering, and nearly executed, retaliatory strikes against Iran in recent weeks.
Israel and Iran Exchange Pledges
Reports indicate that Israel and Iran exchanged pledges via Russia not to be the first to launch an attack. This communication aimed to de-escalate the situation following Iran’s recent missile and drone launch towards Israel, which prompted sirens to sound in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
The Iranian Army Chief has emphasized the seriousness of the perceived Israeli threat and affirmed Iran’s readiness to respond. The exchange of pledges reportedly involved assurances from both sides to refrain from initiating further direct military action.
Prior to the recent exchange, Israel was reportedly on the verge of striking Iran twice in recent weeks, according to a former IDF intelligence chief. These potential strikes were likely in response to Iran’s support of regional proxies and its nuclear program.
