According to Bloomberg, sources say the United States and its allies believe that Iran is about to launch a massive missile or drone attack on military and government targets inside Israel. The attack could take place in the coming days, possibly with the use of high-precision missiles. U.S. officials are helping Israel develop plans and share relevant intelligence.
According to the source, Israel has informed its allies that it will launch a ground offensive against Rafah in the southern Palestinian Gaza Strip after the attack. There are also sources who say that foreign diplomatic missions in Israel are preparing for a possible attack, drawing up evacuation plans.
Previously, on the 1st local time, the consular department building of the Iranian Embassy in Syria was attacked by a missile, killing at least 13 people, including senior generals of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Iranian side then said that the attack would be responded to and that "Tehran will decide how and when to carry out retaliatory actions."
