Iran braces for Israel’s response to missile attack earlier this month

Iran’s government is extremely nervous and has been engaging in urgent diplomatic efforts with countries in the Middle East to gauge whether they can reduce the scale of Israel’s response to its missile attack earlier this month.

A source told CNN News that Iran’s anxiety stems from uncertainty about whether the US can convince Israel not to strike Iranian nuclear sites and oil facilities.

It is understood that the US has been consulting with Israel on how it plans to respond to Iran’s attack earlier this month, and US officials have made clear they do not want Israel to target Iranian nuclear sites or oil fields.

US President Joe Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, their first conversation in almost two months, telling him Israel’s retaliation should be proportional.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issued a strong warning to Iran about his country’s response saying their strike will be powerful, precise, and above all – surprising.

Gallant says Iran will not understand what happened and how it happened.
