It’s likely that Tehran could imminently launch ballistic missiles against Israel a senior White House official told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday, as the Jewish state braced for an Iranian attack within the next 12 hours.
“The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel,” the official stated.
“We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack,” the US official said.
“A direct military attack from Iran against Israel,” the official stressed, “will carry severe consequences for Iran.”
Iran last attacked Israel in April, but its missiles were thwarted by the unified actions of five armies: Israel, the US, France, Jordan, and the United Kingdom.
It's presumed that this attack would be larger than the 120 ballistic missiles, 170 drones, and dozens of cruise missiles which Iran launched on Israel in April."
Three Israeli officials said that the attack would involve unmanned drones and missiles fired toward three military air bases and an intelligence headquarters north of Tel Aviv, The New York Times reported.
The second direct military showdown between Israel and Iran comes as the IDF has in the last weeks bombarded Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, significantly weakening the Iranian proxy group. This has included the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Iran had warned of repercussions to those attacks.

So have the ayatollahs finally grown a pair? Back in April, Israel demonstrated it can hit any target in Iran with great precision, but with Hezbollah under intense relentless fire and all of Iran's other militias being bombed and Israel closing Lebanon's airspace to Iranian planes, if Iran doesn't attack Israel now, regardless of the consequences, it will lose its credibility as a major power in the ME.
