Iran has warned the US to stay out of its way as it prepares to respond to a suspected attack by Israel on its consulate in Syria, while its main proxy in the Middle East, Hezbollah, has signalled its readiness for war.
In a written message to Washington, Iran cautioned the US not to be drawn into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s alleged ploy, urging the US to “step aside so that you don’t get hit.” The US has not publicly responded to the alleged message.
