Iran Prepares for Major Attack on Israel

The White House has warned that Iran could launch a significant attack on Israel as soon as this week, leading to heightened military support for Israel from the U.S., including the deployment of an aircraft carrier strike group and a guided missile submarine. U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that both the U.S. and Israeli officials anticipate the timing of an Iranian attack to be imminent. Israeli intelligence supports this assessment, predicting a joint strike with Hezbollah in retaliation for recent assassinations, raising fears of a broader conflict. Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden has engaged with European leaders to affirm support for Israel and push for a ceasefire amid ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas. Despite international calls for restraint, Iran remains defiant, threatening revenge and leading to concerns about a potential escalation into full-scale war in the region. The situation remains volatile, with U.S. officials stressing their commitment to defending Israel while also trying to mitigate civilian harm in Gaza.
