Israeli media reports indicated Sunday evening that Tel Aviv decided on an immediate, decisive military response if Iran launches missiles toward its territory. Israel affirmed it will not halt operations in Beirut's Southern Suburb or back down from retaliating against
Tehran, even if it's an American demand. Previous indications, amid Washington-Tehran negotiations, suggested potential Iranian abstention from missile launches toward Israel as a goodwill gesture for talks. Speculation grew about Iran's retreat from military threats, with reports of possible US understandings
to avert escalation, as Tehran might consider refraining from direct attack for political and economic facilities. However, Iran's response was swift and dismissive. Tehran rejected an American offer, stating: "We will respond very soon." Israeli reports Sunday evening noted widespread tension,
with Iran seeking superiority and President Trump striving to prevent an Israeli attack by offering incentives. One Israeli news platform reported in detail that "the Middle East and Israel are experiencing difficult hours, as Iran threatens to attack Israel in retaliation
for the Dahieh bombing, while Trump makes strenuous efforts to prevent firing on Israel in exchange for economic gains." Israeli sources anticipated Trump would soon announce "gains" for Iranians for non-retaliation to the Dahieh attack. Yet, Iran remains steadfast in its
threats, rejecting the offer. Tehran declared last night: "Trump offered us money to curb the attack... we rejected that and will respond very soon," also affirming, "We will not betray our people." In a direct threat, Mohammad Baqer Zolghadr, Secretary of
Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stressed that "the response of the soldiers of Islam is coming," adding "the unity of fronts has created a security chain to protect the region," and "Lebanon is our soul and the red lines of
the Islamic Republic will not be violated." Concurrently, Iranian hacker group "Hanzala" warned of "rapid and violent fires breaking out within a few hours," urging people to "head to shelters now" and cautioning of "other potential incidents." Separately, the Israeli Political-Security Cabinet
is currently meeting in a secret Jerusalem location, differing from its planned venue, due to increased security requirements and potential for escalation. These developments follow an Israeli airstrike Sunday morning targeting Beirut's Southern Suburb, in response to Hezbollah launching drones toward
northern Israel. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vowed a "shattering" response, reiterating warnings that Beirut's Southern Suburb is a red line not to be crossed.
