Hungary's message: Iran has decided to attack
Iran has decided to attack Israel, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz told the Jerusalem Post.
Iran's message was delivered to Israel through Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, who reportedly received the information directly from the Iranian Foreign Minister.
- The world should hold Iran accountable for all aggressive actions, says Israel Katz.
The US estimates that Iran's retaliation after the attack on Hamas leader Ismail Haniya is expected within a day or two. At the same time, a huge international mediation effort is underway to avoid a major war between the two arch-enemies Israel and Iran.

Iran Seeks Support for Attack: 'A Moral Obligation'
Iran has convened the Muslim Cooperation Organization IOC for a crisis meeting this week, with the aim of seeking support for an Iranian attack on Israel. The Guardian reports.
Iran believes it has a "moral obligation" to respond to last week's attack in Tehran that killed Hamas political leader Ismail Haniya. The country is said to have urged its ambassadors abroad to deliver that message.
The meeting will be held in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. From the American side, it is feared that a retaliatory attack could take place as early as today, Monday, sources told Axios.
Report: Iran Can Delay US Through Proxy Attacks
Iran, with its enormous arsenal, has the ability to inflict great damage on Israel. That's what The Telegraph writes, which lists several possible scenarios for a supposed Iranian retaliatory attack.
According to the newspaper, Iran could try to punish Israel in several ways: through cyber attacks, attacks on Israeli embassies abroad or through a wave of robots and drones.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) paints the latter as a nightmare scenario and describes how Iran could conceivably carry out a modified version of the major attack in April.
A modified attack could, for example, consist of more robots and drones and be directed at more targets than last spring. Another possibility is that Tehran simultaneously attacks US targets in the region through its proxy forces.
"Iran-backed militia attacks on US positions could, under certain circumstances, draw US attention and resources away from identifying and shooting down projectiles at Israeli targets."
