Israel Prepares for Imminent Iranian Attack

Israel has revised its assessment and now believes an Iranian attack is imminent, possibly coinciding with key Gaza ceasefire talks. This follows Iran's vow to retaliate for the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which Iran attributes to Israel. Israel has communicated these concerns to the United States, and both countries are preparing for potential conflict, with the US deploying additional military resources to the region. Western nations, including the US, France, Germany, and Britain, have urged Iran to refrain from actions that could escalate tensions. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant informed US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin that Iranian military preparations suggest a large-scale attack is forthcoming. The situation remains volatile, with fears that any Iranian retaliation could trigger a broader regional war.
