Tensions rise in the Middle East, Iran is ready to launch missiles!

Tensions are increasing significantly in the Middle East. The countdown started days ago, but only Iran knows when it will end and explode the "Big Bang" of war. Various voices have told various international media that the war is only a matter of hours.

US officials told the Wall Street Journal that they had seen Iran also move missile sites and conduct military exercises since the weekend. So are they ready now? According to CNN, the US expects an attack "in the coming days, although it is not clear whether it will be coordinated with Hezbollah", and some point out that the "window" could open after the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which which meets on Wednesday August 7 in Jeddah to discuss Iran and Palestine.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Lebanese movement, Hassan Nasrallah, spoke yesterday, who affirmed that the response to the Jewish state is an obligation, "whatever the consequences". After the insult of the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, a "strong and effective" retaliation will be achieved, in which Hezbollah will act alone or "in the context of a united response", from all its allies. "Axis of resistance", reports "La Repubblica".

 "We will respond, with Iran and the Houthis. Arab countries wake up, the enemy is fighting without red lines - said Nasrallah. It is Israel that has chosen escalation. Her planes fly over Beirut to scare the people gathered at the ceremony (for the assassination of commander Fuad Shukr, which happened a week ago), but she is afraid of us and rightly so. The week-long wait is part punishment, part response, part battle. The residents of Haifa must prepare for any scenario," were the Iranian threats.
Hezbollah also recorded the death of four of its soldiers in an Israeli raid in Maifadoun (among them Amin Badr al-Din, the grandson of a former commander who was accused of killing Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri), and responded with a barrage of drones. and rockets. But only seven Israeli injuries on a northern highway were caused, the IDF (Israeli army) admitted, by a malfunctioning interceptor missile by the Jewish state itself, launched to stop drones.

Tel Aviv should also be among the targets of retaliation, according to the pro-Hezbollah newspaper Al-Akhbar, but it is not known whether the target will be a military base in the area or the city's residents themselves. The question of which targets will be hit is crucial to understanding what Israel's response will be.

Russian movements

Vladimir Putin has also moved on this issue, according to "Reuters". Through the secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, who was in Tehran on Monday, August 4, the head of the Kremlin is believed to have sent a message to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with the idea: "Give a moderate response and do not attack civilians."

It would be one of many last-minute diplomatic pushes to avert the catastrophe of an all-out regional war. US President Joe Biden actually had telephone conversations with Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi. Giorgia Meloni spoke with the King of Jordan Abdallah II expressing the hope that the conflict will not spread and that initiatives that distance the dialogue will be avoided. While Foreign Minister Tajani spoke with his colleagues from Jordan and Egypt.
