Credible Intelligence Points to Impending Attack

A senior White House official revealed that the US has credible intelligence indicating Iran’s preparations for a ballistic missile strike against Israel. “We are actively supporting Israel’s defensive preparations to counter this threat,” the official stated.

The US reaffirmed its commitment to assisting Israel in intercepting any incoming attacks, citing the successful defense against Iran’s drone and missile launches in April. “We stand ready to provide whatever support necessary to help Israel defend itself,” a US official emphasized.

Regional Tensions Soar

The warning comes amidst heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, fueled by Israel’s intensified campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon and its ongoing conflict in Gaza. Recent Israeli operations have resulted in significant losses for Hezbollah, including the killing of leader Hassan Nasrallah.
