The US and Israel are sure that Iran is preparing to take revenge for the attack on the consulate in Damascus. This was reported by CBS News. According to US intelligence estimates, a retaliatory strike could be carried out by a combination of drones and cruise missiles.
The TV channel will not disclose the approximate time of the strikes. However, it is likely that the response to the attack in Damascus will be Israeli diplomatic facilities.
Sources believe that the strikes could happen next week.
The channel also notes that it is still unclear where the drones and missiles will be launched from Iraq, Syria or Iran.
The White House has previously expressed concern over the possibility of a full-scale war between Iran and Israel after an airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Syria. Recently, Iran and one of its key proxies vowed to respond to a strike widely attributed to Israel that demolished Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus and killed 13, including two Iranian generals.
Iran's state TV reported that the country's Supreme National Security Council, a key decision-making body, met and decided on a "required" response to the strike. The report said the meeting was chaired by President Ebrahim Raisi, but provided no further details.
The "cowardly crime will not go unanswered," Raisi said on his office's website, according to Agence France-Presse. Agence France-Presse reports that Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on his official website that "Israel will be punished" for the attack.
Against this background, the Israeli authorities decided to suspend the work of 28 diplomatic missions around the world.
