A senior White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, has informed AFP that Iran is reportedly preparing to launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel imminently.
The development follows an escalation in the conflict, marked by the Israeli army initiating a ground offensive in Lebanon and engaging in clashes on Tuesday after a week of intense airstrikes that resulted in significant casualties.
The official emphasized that the United States is actively involved in aiding Israel’s defensive measures in anticipation of the attack. The statement also cautioned that any aggression from Iran in this context would have severe consequences for the country.
