"Tehran will not send its military into the war zone to help Hamas."

"There are good reasons to believe that Iran has decided not to enter the conflict directly."

"The likelihood of an expanded regional war... is low."

"[T]he risk of direct US involvement in the [Israel-Hamas war]... is higher than most people realize."

Despite no country wanting a regional conflict, "each country acts in such a way that exponentially increases its likelihood."

"[D]evelopments on the ground have the potential to escalate quickly, making the unthinkable [a major Middle East war] unavoidable."

The Israel-Hamas war "raises the very real risk of a catastrophic regional conflagration."

"[T]he risk of an expansion of this conflict is real, very, very real and extremely dangerous."

“Due to the expansion of the intensity of the war against Gaza’s civilian residents, expansion of the scope of the war has become inevitable.”

“Everything is in place for a cascading series of events that will culminate in Israel attacking Iran.”

"Iran is often more talk than action, more threat than substance."

"Tehran is undoubtedly obliged to retaliate [for the attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus], but I think it will be of a symbolic nature, avoiding further escalation."

"It's going to be very difficult for Iran not to retaliate [for the attack on Iran's consulate in Demascus]."

The prospect of Iran attacking Israel is "still a viable threat."

"This cowardly crime [the attack on Iran's consulate in Demascus] will not go unanswered."

"We warn that no act by any enemy against our holy system will go unanswered."

"Be certain that Iran's response to the targeting of its Damascus consulate is inevitable."

Iran will attack Israel "sooner than later."

Will Iran Attack Israel?

The Yemeni Houthi rebels took credit for a suspected drone attack in central Tel Aviv near the US embassy branch office early on Friday, in which one person was reportedly killed and at least ten injured.

Al Jazeera

A Houthi spokesperson described the attack as a "victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and their fighters." The attack was allegedly carried out by a new drone called "Jaffa" capable of evading interception systems according to the Houthis.

The Jerusalem Post

The rebels added that they had attacked "one of the important targets in the occupied Jaffa region, what is now called Israeli Tel Aviv," and vowed to carry out further attacks on Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Alarabiya

According to Saudi media sources, US regional forces downed three drones and a ballistic missile on their way to Israel. The fourth drone managed to reach Tel Aviv, where it exploded in mid-air, with the fragments causing the casualties.

Timesofisrael

The Israeli military said it launched an investigation into a suspected drone strike after an initial probe found the explosion was caused by an "aerial target" that failed to be intercepted due to human error.

BBC News

While it reportedly remains unclear whether the drone targeted the US embassy branch, Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai on X said the city was on "high alert" following the attack and urged residents to follow emergency instructions.
