Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calls for a response to the latest Israeli attacks, stressing that “the scale of the attacks and the number of victims are too significant” to ignore. Khamenei believes that if Iran does not respond, it will be interpreted as an admission of defeat.
The Telegram channel “Alexey Zheleznov” writes about this.
According to sources, Iran’s military leadership has already compiled a list of dozens of targets in Israel where attacks could be carried out in response to Israeli actions.
However, despite its readiness, Iran is still in no rush to attack. The decision on the timing of the retaliatory attack would be related to the US elections: Iran fears that immediate action could favor Donald Trump and increase his chances of winning, which is not in Tehran’s interest.
Previously, Kursor wrote that Iran is considering launching an attack against Israel from Iraqi territory.
There is currently no evidence that Iran is preparing to launch missiles or drones against Israel in response to a possible attack next weekend.
However, U.S. administration officials believe Iran is capable of quickly preparing for a missile attack if it makes that decision. This is because in recent months Tehran has developed several scenarios to respond to possible threats.
The source said Iranian leaders are still discussing whether they will retaliate and in what format, so plans remain uncertain.
Meanwhile, two Israeli sources claim that Iran could be planning an attack on Israel from Iraq in the coming days. Hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles are expected to be used.
Iran intends to attract pro-Iran militia groups in Iraq to reduce the risk of a retaliatory attack on its territory. This approach would allow Tehran to avoid direct involvement and reduce the likelihood of Israel attacking Iran itself.
