Israel and America Declare Readiness to Counter Threats from the Islamic Republic
The governments of Israel and the United States declared their readiness to counter threats from the Islamic Republic and a potential Iranian attack.
US Defense Secretary “Lloyd Austin” and Israeli Defense Minister “Yoav Gallant” were informed in the early morning of November 1 (November 11) during a phone call of reports indicating that Tehran would launch another attack on Israel in the coming days in response to Israel’s military strike on Iran on November 5.
For this purpose, the United States and Israel declared their readiness to defend their forces and allies throughout the Middle East against threats from the Islamic Republic and a potential Iranian attack on Israel. An Israeli official also announced that they are at the highest level of readiness for a potential new Iranian attack.
While some sources in Iran had announced that Iran would attack Israel after the US elections, some credible American media outlets reported of an Iranian attack on Israel before the US elections on November 5.
According to reports released by the Pentagon, the US and Israeli defense ministers consulted with each other regarding opportunities created for reducing the regional crisis. Also, according to reports released yesterday, Iran may use its proxy forces in Iraq to attack Israel to prevent another Israeli strike on Iran, which could also potentially involve the Iraqi government and army that cooperate with the United States.
An Israeli military source stated in this regard: “Iranian officials are still deciding on the timing of a retaliatory attack; because Israel’s strike on Iran’s missile production facilities and air defense sites has created a problem for Tehran that has reduced their capability to launch another attack on Israel and defend themselves against potential Israeli operations in the future.”
Benjamin Netanyahu, while noting that he cannot disclose his plans for achieving a nuclear goal regarding Iran, emphasized: “Iran will not have nuclear weapons. The nuclear issue is at the top of our agenda, and we will not take our eyes off this supreme goal.”
He also said at the ceremony of awarding new army officers yesterday: “Two days after Hamas’s extreme attack on Israeli soil last year, we emphasized that dealing with Iran’s octopus arms, particularly the head of the octopus, is on Israel’s agenda for changing the face of the Middle East.”
Tehran’s proxy forces in Iraq also reported four drone attacks in the early morning of today (Friday, November 1) against Israel, with three drones sent from Iraq toward southern Israel and the fourth attack drone sent toward the Golan Heights in northern Israel.
Israeli media also reported the interception of two drones launched from Iraq over the eastern Red Sea by Israeli fighter jets. The Israeli army spokesman confirmed that the target of the two drones was to reach the southern port city of Eilat before they were shot down and destroyed before entering Israeli airspace.
The commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, who warned Israel yesterday that it would face an unexpected and unimaginable response to its recent operations, assured Israel that Iran is preparing an attack on the country from Iraqi territory, which would be carried out by Tehran’s proxy forces using drones and missiles that Iran had provided to them.
