Kuwait city
\nA Kuwaiti newspaper, al Jarida, on Wednesday reported that a high-ranking security delegation from the United States secretly travelled to Tehran, mediated by Oman.
\nCiting an unnamed source within Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council, the paper claimed that the delegation\u2019s visit aimed to ease tensions amid recent assassinations linked to Israel.
\nAccording to Israeli outlet Jerusalem Post, which cited al Jarida\u2019s report, the delegation allegedly provided Iran with a list of ten Mossad agents believed to be operating within the country. The agents were suspected of involvement in recent assassinations, including that of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
\nThe alleged exchange is described as a \u201cgood faith\u201d gesture by the US following Israel\u2019s strikes that killed Fuad Shukr in Beirut and Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Al Jarida suggested that the US was distancing itself from these strikes, implying they were carried out without Washington\u2019s coordination.
\nIsmail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, was assassinated on July 31 in Tehran while attending the inauguration of Iran\u2019s new president. A missile strike targeted the building where he was staying, marking a bold escalation in the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
\nJust hours earlier, Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
\nHis death has been linked to recent clashes between Israel and Hezbollah, reportedly in retaliation for a rocket attack that claimed several lives in the Golan Heights.
\nThese high-profile killings have escalated tensions in the region, with Iran and Hezbollah both vowing revenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
