White House says Iranian reprisal for Haniyeh's killing may happen this week
The US has determined that Iran and its regional proxies may attack Israel as soon as this week, the White House said Monday following the assassination of the political leader of Hamas in Tehran last month.
Speculation has repeatedly mounted that Iran's reprisal could happen soon, and National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the US shares "the same concerns and expectations that our Israeli counterparts have with respect to potential timing here, could be this week."
