Iran is preparing to unleash a salvo of ballistic missiles against Israel as the two nations move closer to a direct confrontation, a senior official from the White House said on Tuesday.
The US – which is an ally of Israel and has committed to a $8.7 billion military aid package – is actively supporting plans to defend it against threats from Iran.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, warned the Islamic Republic of ‘severe consequences’ if an attack takes place.
Another official cited by Reuters said the assault could be ‘at least as big’ as the drone strike in April after Iran retaliated for Israel’s massacre on its embassy in Damascus.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, Israeli military spokesperson, told a televised briefing that air defence systems are fully prepared for any attack from Iran – but no threat has been identified at present.
