"Not In Iran's Interest To Get Into Major Spat With Israel Or West" | Former Head Of British Army
Description
Lord Dannatt, former head of the British Army, says there are a number of both regional and wider global concerns surrounding Iran's possible retaliation against Israel. He suggests that although it isn't in Tehran's interests to get into a "major spat" with Israel, Iran does sponsor Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, "they can dial it up, or dial it down."
Russia, Germany and Britain on Thursday urged countries in the Middle East to show restraint and Israel said it was preparing to "meet all its security needs" in a region on edge over an Iranian threat to strike Israel.
The German airline Lufthansa, one of only two Western carriers flying to Tehran, extended a suspension of its flights to the Iranian capital and Russia warned against travel to the Middle East.
Iran has vowed revenge for the April 1 airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus that killed a top Iranian general and six other Iranian military officers, ratcheting up tension in a region already strained by the Gaza war.
