US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned foreign ministers from the G7 countries Sunday that attacks by Iran and Hezbollah on Israel could come "as early as Monday" in retaliation for the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh and senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr, according to a report.
During the phone call, Blinken said the US believes that Iran and Hezbollah will both retaliate, but it's unclear what form the retaliation will take, the US-based news site Axios reported, citing three sources briefed on the call.
The sources noted that Blinken said the attacks could come within the next 24 to 48 hours.
