The United States and its allies consider that Iran will “imminently” attack Israeli military or government targets with a high-precision missile or drones, according to ‘Bloomberg‘ which mentions North American intelligence sources.
President Joe Biden, despite the criticism leveled at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has reiterated his “strong” support for the Jewish State in the face of threats from the Persian country after the attack on the Consulate in Damascus (Syria), which killed seven Iranian revolutionary guards.
The impact of the offensive
According to information reported by intelligence sources, this attack would represent a “significant expansion” of the conflict that currently affects Israel and the political and paramilitary organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip, where more than 35,000 Gazans have been murdered.
Although Iran’s reaction could happen in the coming days, the sources of the aforementioned media requested anonymity and commented on the attack that “it is more a question of when (it will occur) and not if (it will take place).”
More details
In parallel, ‘Axios‘ has announced that Israeli officials are preparing for a possible unprecedented direct attack from Iranian soil, using – among many other things – ballistic missiles, drones and cruise missiles.
Tension between both countries has increased after an attack attributed to the Israeli Army against the Iranian consulate in Damascus last week killed several senior officials of the Persian country, including IRGC commander Mohammad Reza Zahedi, as well as his deputy and several other IRGC officers.
And Biden’s position?
As if this were not enough, the head of the United States Central Command, General Erik Kurilla, is meeting these days in Israel with senior military commanders of that country to discuss the threat of an attack by Iran. Yes, we are talking about Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and senior officials of the Israel Defense Forces.
Although there are many hypotheses, the Biden Administration has clarified that everything possible will be done to protect the security of Israel” against Tehran. “Our commitment to Israel’s security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is firm,” he said recently in a press conference.
