Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned his G7 counterparts over the weekend that Iran and Hezbollah may carry out a coordinated attack on Israel as soon as Monday, according to a report.
During a conference call Sunday, Blinken stressed to US allies the need to put last-minute diplomatic pressure on Iran and Hezbollah to try and minimize their retaliation, three sources briefed on the call told Axios.
Blinken emphasized that if Iran and Hezbollah were to limit their strikes, it may help prevent an all-out war, according to the report.
