US warns Israel against attacking Iran

The United States has warned Israel against attacking Iran, Saudi Arabian news broadcaster Al-Hadath reported, citing sources on Friday. According to the report, the US government also urged Israel to maintain the current level of de-escalation with Syria. Meanwhile, sources also said Israel has informed Washington of its plans to continue limited and routine strikes against targets in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. On 28 February, the US and Israel began launching strikes against a number of targets in Iran, which Iran subsequently retaliated against with similar attacks. In mid-June, Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at halting hostilities, but shortly afterwards the two sides resumed exchanging strikes. The conflict remains unresolved, although there is currently no active hostility. However, Washington has chosen to increase economic pressure on Iran in an effort to end the conflict by adding financial pressure on Tehran.
