US official says Iran preparing to launch missile attack on Israel | BBC News

The US has indications that Iran is preparing to "imminently" launch a missile attack on Israel, a senior White House official has said.

Israel has not identified any aerial threat being launched from Iran, said military spokesperson Daniel Hagari.

Israeli troops have invaded Lebanon, in what the Israeli military calls a "limited, localised and targeted" ground operation against Hezbollah.

The Lebanese prime minister said his country is facing "one of its most dangerous phases", and that one million people are displaced.

Can Israel, Iran and the US go to the moon and fight this out over there and leave us all alone? I'm so tired of this 💩

The worst thing that happened to the middle east is the IRANIAN ISLAMIC REVOLUTION IN 1979.
That regime in Iran is behind all tensions in that region.

It doesnt matter whos side you are on whats sad is innocent hard working people always suffer while the leaders are safely protected. NOBODY WINS A WAR, ONLY INNOCENT LIVES ARE TAKEN.

[osvaldomcs]

They have the same right to defend themselves.

I understand that Iran wants to look like Gaza and Khamenei wants to meet with Nasrallah…

[ebdhudnav]

They need a good form of secure communications like papers

[brandonlotter]

Last time they sent 400 missiles with a 99% interception rate seem like just a waste of time to me.

Israel let her guard down last year. This year, no threat from Iran will be treated lightly.

[DonatusOkechukwuOkoli-zcnz]

This time around the BBC seem to be in good spirits 😏😏😏

Iran just had their 3 primary proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthies) crushed by Israel, their main ally Russia can barely help themselves, let alone Iran...Iran gave tons of their military weapons to Hezbollah, which Israel has commandeered for themselves or destroyed outright. Meanwhile, Israel has NEVER been stronger than they are now. Iran has never been weaker. Israel has NEVER lost a war, never had more than 2600 casualties in ANY way in its history. Iran knows they can't win against superior Israeli tech, but they also know their leaders' destruction will be imminent if they don't project strength they don't have.

In other words, Iran is in a lot of trouble when Israel is done destroying all of Hezbollah's remaining infrastructure. Iran wants to attack now before there is nothing left of Hezbollah at all so they believe they can have a chance on two fronts.

So Russia told Iran to get tough. Iranians begging israel to whack the ayotollah.
