Threat of escalation between Iran and Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Iran of being responsible for the attack on a tourist bus in Bulgaria on Wednesday which left several Israelis dead. The left-liberal online newspaper To Vima fears that the conflict between Iran and Israel will escalate and that there will also be repercussions for Europe and Greece: "International observers and diplomats are making no secret of their fears that dramatic events may occur in the near future. In other words, our country must prepare for a worsening of the situation at an international level. … An Israeli attack on Iran and the potential response from Tehran would probably drive up the oil prices and intensify the recession. This would also hamper Greece's attempts to overcome the crisis. Greece has good reason to prepare for the worst."
