There have been reports that Iran is planning to strike Israel in the next two days, according to a source close to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). However, another source familiar with the regime’s plans has stated that while discussions about the attack are ongoing, a final decision has not yet been made.
The threat of retaliation from Iran stems from an attack on a consulate building on the embassy grounds in Damascus in early April, which resulted in the deaths of several Revolutionary Guard officers, including a high-ranking leader of the Revolutionary Guards’ elite Quds Force. This attack is believed to have been carried out by Israel, although the United States, Israel’s ally, has denied any knowledge of the attack beforehand.
There have been rumors that Iran is preparing for a retaliatory strike targeting either Israel or the United States in the Middle East. The US intelligence community has even warned about a possible attack on Israel by Iran or its allies. In response, the US Embassy in Israel announced restrictions on the movement of US workers and their families in certain areas, while the general in charge of US operations in the Middle East visited Israel.
Iran has been cautious about its possible retaliatory strike to avoid escalating conflict in the region. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian reportedly conveyed this message to Washington. Iran has developed missiles and drones in recent years and possesses advanced weaponry like the Kheibar Shekan missile with a range of 1,450 kilometers, which could potentially reach Israeli soil.
Iran has an arsenal of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, with over 3,000 ballistic missiles being highlighted as part of their program. The situation is becoming increasingly tense as there is potential for a significant strike to occur soon.
In conclusion, it remains unclear whether Iran will carry out an attack on Israel or not. However, it is clear that tensions between these two countries are high and any further escalation could lead to devastating consequences for both parties and for peace and stability in
