According to US media reports, a new war could break out within a day or two.
Israel is preparing for a direct attack from Iran, which could occur in the coming days, the Wall Street Journal reported. – Tehran has not yet made a final decision – says a person with knowledge of the details.
According to the informant, Israel is preparing for a direct attack from Iran from the south or north within the next 24 to 48 hours. Detailed plans of attack are being discussed, but no final decision has been made. A U.S. official said U.S. intelligence reports indicate an Iranian attack could occur on Israeli territory and not on Israeli targets abroad.
Iran has publicly threatened retaliation for last week’s attack in Damascus, Syria. The raid on the Iranian consulate killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including two generals responsible for Iran’s foreign military activities. Israel has not officially admitted or denied the attack, but Washington said it was Tel-Aviv’s responsibility.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that Israel “must be punished and it will be punished,” saying the attack on the consulate amounted to an attack on Iranian territory.
One Iranian source did not rule out the possibility that members of the Iran-backed Axis of Resistance could attack Israel at any time – an option that analysts considered among possible methods of retaliation.
American intervention
On Thursday, Western Washington contacted Iran’s Foreign Ministry in an effort to de-escalate conflict in the Middle East. Iranian sources told Reuters that Tehran has signaled to the US that it will not act rashly and that retaliation will take a form aimed at preventing a serious escalation.
According to Israel National News, the United States expects an attack from Iran on Israel, but most likely not large enough to involve the United States in the war.
