The administration of the United States fears that the Iranian authorities may blame the United States or Israel for involvement in the destruction of the helicopter carrying the President of the Islamic Republic, Ebrahim Raisi. This was reported by the Politico newspaper. According to them, Washington is closely watching Tehran's reaction, counting on maintaining the regional status quo and, at the same time, fearing that the hypothetical accusations could lead to an escalation of tensions in relations with Israel. According to U.S. officials, changes in Iranian policy are unlikely in the near future. According to Politico, on May 19, U.S. officials anxiously watched the search and rescue operation, "speculating for hours about how the destruction might change the situation in the Middle East." "Is this really how the third world war begins?" the question has stopped being silly for some time," said the interlocutor of the publication.
