New Delhi: Israel is preparing for potential military action against its arch-rival Iran amid fears of an imminent retaliatory attack after the assassination of Hamas chief in Tehran. Top government and security officials in Israel are discussing various options in response to the uncertainty surrounding Iran and its proxies, News18 reported quoting The Times Of Israel. The possibility of a preemptive strike on Iran was considered as a deterrent
During a meeting led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the possibility of a preemptive strike on Iran was considered as a deterrent measure. However, Israeli security officials stressed that such an action would only be authorised if the country received definitive intelligence indicating that Iran was about to launch an attack.
Both Israel and the U.S. are reportedly unsure of what an Iranian attack might entail, as Tehran has not yet finalised its plans or fully coordinated with its proxy groups. Iran and its minions are looking to surround us in a stranglehold of terrorism. We are determined to stand against them on every front and in every arena – near and far. Whoever seeks to harm us will pay a very heavy price,” PM Netanyahu said in a post on social media platform X on Sunday.
