Iran has signaled to Washington that it will respond to the Israeli attack against their embassy in Syria without acting hastily and will avoid a major escalation, reported Reuters and News.bg.
Tehran is pushing for demands, including a ceasefire in Gaza.
Iran's message to Washington was delivered by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdolakhian during a visit on Sunday to the Gulf Arab state of Oman, which often acts as an intermediary between Tehran and Washington, sources said.
A White House spokesman declined to comment on any reports from Iran, but said the US had told Iran it was not involved in the embassy strike.
Iran's foreign ministry was not available for comment. The Omani government did not immediately respond to emailed questions for comment sent during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
A US intelligence source was not aware of the message relayed through Oman, but said Iran had "been very clear" that its response to the attack on its embassy compound in Damascus would be "controlled" ; and "no escalation" and plans "to use regional proxies to launch a series of attacks against Israel.
The diplomatic message points to a cautious approach by Iran as it weighs how to respond to the April 1 attack in a way that deters Israel from further similar actions but avoids a military escalation that could implicate the U.S. .
