On August 24, 2024, a U.S. general began a surprise visit to the Middle East to discuss ways to prevent rising tensions that could lead to a wider conflict as the region braces for a possible Iranian attack on Israel. U.S. Air Force General Charles Brown, who chairs the Joint Chiefs of Staff, began his trip in Jordan and said he would also visit Egypt and Israel in the coming days to hear the views of military leaders.
At the same time, the United States is trying to reach a ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for the release of hostages between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas, which Brown believes would “help reduce tensions” if such an agreement is reached. “At the same time, I am discussing with my colleagues how we can prevent further escalation and ensure that we take all necessary steps to avoid a full-scale conflict,” Brown said upon arrival in Jordan.
Recall that Iran promised a harsh response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh during his visit to Tehran late last month, for which it blamed Israel. However, the IRGC spokesman then noted that Iran's response to the killing of the Hamas leader in Tehran could take a long time, indicating Iran's reluctance to rush the expected response, raising fears of a possible regional war in the Middle East.
