NBC News: Israel has identified targets for a strike on Iran.
American and Israeli officials claim that Israel is preparing to respond to an attack from Iran, and a strike could occur at any moment, including during the Yom Kippur holiday. This information was published by NBC News.
According to American representatives, Israel has identified potential targets for its response to an Iranian attack. Among them could be Iran's military and energy facilities.
There are no indications that Israel intends to attack nuclear facilities or carry out assassinations. However, American officials emphasize that the Israelis have not yet made a final decision on the method and timing of their actions.
After Iran's rocket attack on October 1st, the region is in anticipation of an Israeli response. Iran stated that this was a response to Israel's invasion of Lebanon and the killing of its allies. Israel wants to retaliate for these deaths.
Meanwhile, the US does not know when Israel's response might occur but is prepared to defend its facilities. American officials emphasize that they have not received information on the exact date of Israel's response, but claim that Israel is ready to act once it receives the appropriate order.
It is worth noting that Israeli officials have shared general information about their retribution plan with the US, but have not disclosed all the details for security reasons. Therefore, the US may protect its facilities but is unlikely to provide direct military support for the operation.
The President of the US, Joe Biden, has urged the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, to focus on the humanitarian situation in Gaza and Lebanon and to cease hostilities. He also emphasized that the war in Lebanon and the threat from Iran are major problems for Israel.
