Yoav Gallant claims Israel ready for any scenario with Iran: The United States is also on high alert and preparing for a possible attack by Iran targeting ...
jpost.com/breaking-news/article-795719
Quick Glance: US Alerted to Impending Iranian Attack
- The US is actively on high alert and preparing for a potential "significant" attack by Iran targeting Israeli or American assets in the region as a response to Monday's Israeli strike in Damascus that killed high-ranking Iranian commanders. Senior US officials currently believe that an attack by Iran is "inevitable" - a sentiment also shared by their Israeli counterparts. Both governments are working diligently to prepare for the anticipated Iranian attack, acknowledging the various possible methods through which the attack could unfold and the potential risks to US and Israeli assets and personnel.
- A looming Iranian attack was a focal point of discussion during a phone call between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. At that moment, the two governments were uncertain about the timing and nature of Iran's retaliation. A direct Iranian strike on Israel is a scenario that the Biden administration is particularly concerned about, as it would lead to a swift escalation of an already volatile situation in the Middle East. Iran had vowed vengeance following Israel's airstrike on the Iranian embassy complex in Syria, resulting in the deaths of at least seven officials.
- The US promptly informed Iran that the Biden administration was not involved in and had no prior knowledge of the embassy attack, cautioning against targeting American assets. The US considers its own embassies and consulates abroad, as well as foreign embassies and consulates in the US, to be under special protection.
- On Tuesday, the Pentagon's Deputy Press Secretary, Sabrina Singh, stated that the US assessment pointed to Israel as the perpetrator of the airstrike. Israel has escalated its military operations against Iran and its regional allies following the October 7 attack on Israel by the Tehran-backed Hamas group. Subsequent warfare in Gaza by Israel has resulted in over 32,800 casualties, widespread devastation, and pushed more than a million individuals to the brink of starvation, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
