Recent reports indicate that Iran is actively engaging in diplomatic efforts with Middle Eastern countries to assess the potential for de-escalation following a missile attack by Israel earlier this month. The Iranian government's anxiety is fueled by concerns over possible Israeli strikes on nuclear sites and oil facilities, as well as the weakening of its proxy militia, Hezbollah, due to Israeli military operations.
The United States has been in discussions with Israel to urge restraint in its response to Iran's actions, emphasizing the importance of proportionality. US President Joe Biden recently spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to convey this message.
