Israel is currently on high alert for a potential response from Iran, according to a military source. The source mentioned that they are closely monitoring Iran's decision-making process to determine the likelihood and timing of any retaliatory actions.
The recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian missile production facilities and air defense installations have significantly impacted Iran's ability to strike Israel and defend against future attacks. This has put Tehran in a challenging position, as its military capabilities have been weakened.
Reports emerged on Wednesday suggesting that Iran is planning a 'definitive and painful' response to Israel's recent attack. While an exact date for this retaliation was not provided, sources indicated that it could occur before the upcoming US presidential election.
On October 25, the Israeli military conducted targeted strikes on Iranian military sites in response to a ballistic missile attack launched by Iran earlier in the month. This marked the first time Israel publicly acknowledged such direct military action against Iran, signaling a potential escalation in tensions between the two countries.
In response to the heightened situation, top US officials have arrived in the Middle East with the objective of deterring further military actions by Iran. The presence of these officials underscores the international concern surrounding the potential escalation of conflict in the region.
