The US is on high alert for a potential attack by Iran targeting Israeli or American assets in response to a recent Israeli strike in Damascus that killed Iranian commanders. Senior US officials believe an attack by Iran is “inevitable” and are preparing for the various ways it could unfold.
President Joe Biden has been in discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the potential attack. The Biden administration is bracing for a direct strike on Israel by Iran, which could further escalate tensions in the already volatile Middle East region.
Iran has vowed to seek revenge after the Israeli attack on their embassy complex in Syria, which resulted in the death of top Iranian officials. The US has issued a warning to Iran not to use the Israeli strike as a reason to attack US personnel or facilities. Any attack on an embassy is considered an attack on the country it represents, according to US officials.
In response to the increasing tensions, Israel has intensified its military campaign against Iran and its proxies in the region. The ongoing conflicts and recent attacks have heightened concerns about the potential for further violence and instability in the Middle East.
As the US and its allies work to anticipate and prepare for a possible Iranian attack, the situation remains tense and uncertain. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
