According to US, Washington had warned Iran against launching another attack on Israel, noting that the US administration had said that it wouldn’t be able to restrain the Israelis.
US officials confirmed that the scenario of an Iranian response to Israel is still likely in the coming days.
Israeli and US officials have made it clear that Israel may respond to an Iranian attack even if it comes from Iraqi territory.
For his part, the spokesman for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard said that Iran’s response to Israel is inevitable, and will be decisive, strong, and thoughtful, and will exceed the enemy’s imagination.
According to the Israeli officials, intelligence information indicates that Iran is preparing to attack Israel within days.
Earlier, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei threatened Israel and the United States on Saturday with a crushing response to attacks against Iran and its allies.
Khamenei’s threat comes as Iranian officials are escalating their threats to launch another strike against Israel following the latter’s attack on the Islamic Republic on October 26, which targeted military bases and other sites and killed at least five people.
“The enemies, whether the Zionist regime or the United States, will certainly receive a crushing response to what they are doing to Iran, the Iranian nation and the resistance front,” the Iranian leader said in a video published by Iran’s official media.
