Iran may be reconsidering its vow of a harsh reprisal on Israel for last week's assassination of Hamas political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reported on Wednesday morning, citing White House officials.
The regime's proxy militia in Lebanon, Hezbollah, is still a "wild card," however, Ignatius added.
The Post columnist noted that the Biden administration has been sending strong messages to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to stand in the way of hostage deal-ceasefire negotiations and messages, via regional partners, to Tehran urging restraint in its response.
Ignatius assessed in the article that, since Netanyahu and Biden's phone call on hostage deal negotiations last week, the former had "moved toward" the US-brokered hostage deal.
