Iran informed the US that it would refrain from responding to the airstrike in which senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders were killed in Damascus if a ceasefire in Gaza is reached, Jadeh Iran reported on Sunday.

The news outlet cited an anonymous Arab diplomatic source, saying the source spoke to the news outlet two days ago. The source added that “If America succeeds in containing the situation, it will be a great success for the Biden administration and we can build on that.”

    Super great for Iran if this happens, super awful for the hostages being raped to death in Gaza.

      One, there’s been no proof of rape happening by them (although there’s probably some sexual assault and harassment, which is obviously terrible. I condemn Hamas, etc.). Two, you think they have a higher chance of getting the hostages back if they continue this indiscriminate bombing campaign over actual negotiation? There’s a reason families of the hostages have been protesting Netanyahu. He doesn’t give a shit about the hostages. He’d rather they all die than have an extended ceasefire.
