'Iran has blamed Israel for an attack on its embassy complex in Damascus - though Israel has not said it was responsible.Professor Gerges said the Israeli war cabinet and IDF generals were 'trying to force and provoke Iran to retaliate'.'The war itself is escalating into multiple theatres and basically risks dragging the US and Britain into another major conflict in the Middle East,' said the professor.
