According to senior officials in the U.S. Defense Department and White House, intelligence indicates that Iran is preparing to launch a ballistic missile strike on Israel within the next 12 hours. The Israeli military is on high alert, with contingency plans already in place to protect key air bases and intelligence facilities near Tel Aviv. U.S. officials have pledged to support Israel’s defensive efforts, warning that any direct military attack from Iran would have severe consequences for Tehran.
This comes in the wake of escalating regional tensions involving Iranian-backed militant groups like Hezbollah. Israel has already launched targeted strikes in southern Lebanon, further intensifying the situation. As Israeli forces brace for a possible Iranian strike, Netanyahu’s message calls for the nation to remain united in the face of these unprecedented threats.
