WASHINGTON: Iran is expected to attack Israel within the next two days, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing an official who was briefed by Iranian leadership. The source told the Wall Street Journal that Iran has discussed attack plans, although “no final decision has been made.”
Iran has been expected to retaliate against Israel after the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria was bombed, with seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force perishing in the attack.
Israel droned the Iranian embassy in Damascus killing 7 including Commander Mohammad Reza Zahedi and his deputy Mohammad Hadi Hajriahimi.
Iran publicly threatened to respond to the attack and the Intelligence Community predicted that an Iranian attack on Israel “could be imminent.”
Israel is reportedly preparing for an unprecedented “direct attack” on the north or south side of the country.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the IRGC contacted Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with options to strike Israeli interests earlier this week.
Three days after the attack, the Revolutionary Guards posted an Islamic meme on X with the words: “They will find no guardian or helper…”
