A direct attack from Iran in the next two days awaits Israel. This is reported by the American Wall Street Journal. The newspaper cited an informed source as saying that no final decision had been made, but plans for an attack were being discussed.
According to the publication, US intelligence reports indicate a planned strike by Iran within days, “probably on Israeli territory.”
Earlier, US media, citing Iranian and US intelligence sources, reported that Tehran planned to strike dozens of sensitive targets in Israel, including energy infrastructure and various other facilities, using ballistic missiles and explosive-laden drones.

On the evening of April 1, the Israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike on the building of the Consulate General of Iran in Damascus. The consulate building also housed the residence of Iranian Ambassador Hossein Akbari, who was not injured in the attack. The consulate building was completely destroyed as a result of the rocket attack.
According to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (an elite force of the armed forces), the Israeli strike killed seven officers, including two senior general advisers: Mohammad Reza Zahedi, as well as his deputy, Brigadier General Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi.
Iran’s foreign ministry said it reserved the right to respond to the airstrike, as well as determine how exactly to “punish the aggressor.” On Wednesday, Elaf announced that Israel was preparing to strike targets in Iran if Tehran decided to respond, RIA Novosti reported.
