Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Chief, Hossein Salami, warned Israel of severe retaliation if it strikes Iranian targets. This comes after Tehran’s missile attack on October 1, which escalated conflict with Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Salami’s threat followed the killing of a Guards general in an Israeli strike. As tensions rise, US officials anticipate Israel’s retaliation before November 5. Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi is visiting Cairo for talks with Egyptian officials, marking the first such diplomatic move in years.
