U.S. Prepares to Counter Iranian Attack on Israel
(Axios) Barak Ravid - The Biden administration is convinced Iran is going to attack Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last week and is preparing to counter it, three U.S. officials told Axios. The U.S. intelligence community started receiving clear indications on Wednesday that Iran is going to retaliate, a U.S. official said. A senior Israeli official said the Israeli intelligence community expects Iran will launch a wide-ranging missile attack on Israel. U.S. officials say they expect any Iranian retaliation to be from the same playbook as their Apr. 13 attack on Israel - but potentially larger in scope - and it could also involve the Lebanese Hizbullah.
