Iran is reportedly preparing for an attack on Israel within days. The indication is that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has directed his country’s top military leadership to implement the attack.
Reports in both The New York Times and Axios suggest Khamenei authorized the attack after reviewing the damage from last week’s strike on Iranian missile production facilities.
Tehran’s top general, Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salami, pledged the regime will hit Israelis with what he called “an unimaginable response.”

“You can’t live in a sea of fire. You are small; you don’t even have somewhere to escape,” Salami declared.
For all of Iran’s bluster, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, believes the Iranians realize how vulnerable they are and fear a full-on fight with the Israel Defense Forces.
“My sense is that at least on their side, that they realize the risks of escalation and would prefer to avoid it,” he said.
Axios reports that Israeli intelligence suggests the attack could be launched by pro-Iran militias in Iraq, and not from Iran itself, possibly to avoid another Israeli strike on Iran.
The reports follow Israel’s second attack on Iran last week. At the time, Israel destroyed much of Iran’s ballistic missile production and its air defense systems. One U.S. official said the damage to Iran’s air defense was so extensive, that it left Iran basically “blind.”
Israel did not hit either the Islamic regime’s oil facilities or its nuclear sites in that attack. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced at an IDF officers’ graduation ceremony that the nuclear sites are Israel’s chief concern.
