The Washington Post is reporting that the United States took the extraordinary step this spring of warning Iran about potential Israeli assassination attempts against two senior Iranian officials. U.S. officials said Washington's objection to the possible killings of Abbas Araghchi, Iran's foreign minister, and Mohammad Ghalibaf, the country's parliamentary speaker, was so acute that it used intermediaries to convey the warning to Iran. The warning concerned Israel's alleged assassination aims during ceasefire talks.
