Israel's Defense Establishment Sees US Nearing Major Counter-Response to Iran
Israeli security sources believe Washington is preparing a significant counter-response to Iran after a series of escalations, including attacks on US forces and regional threats.
Israel's defense establishment assesses that the United States is on the verge of a large-scale counter-response against Iran, driven by a string of recent escalations. These include a missile strike on US forces in Jordan, a militia attack in Iraq, threats to Azerbaijan and Ukraine, a dispute in the Strait of Hormuz, and a strike in Egypt.
A security source quoted by i24 News stated, "Americans are gearing up for something bigger than anything we've seen so far." The assessment suggests Washington may move beyond limited retaliations, though no specific timeline or operation details were provided.
The report, by journalist Guy Azriel, underscores rising tension across multiple fronts involving Iranian proxies and interests. The developments are being closely watched by Israeli defense officials as potential indicators of a broader US strategic shift in the region.
