According to American media reports, Israel has the capability to strike Iran at any moment, as American officials believe Israel has narrowed down its targets. Since the missile retaliation by Iran on October 1, Israel’s response is highly anticipated. NBC News announced that Israel’s retaliation could come at any moment, based on information from American and Israeli officials. American officials suggest that Israel’s response to Iran will be limited. Israel has reportedly shared more information with the Biden administration regarding the retaliation operation, but many details are being kept confidential for security reasons. American officials revealed that Israel has not disclosed information regarding when the strike may occur or its exact nature. It was emphasized that a final decision on when and how to strike Iran has not been made yet, but the Israeli military is ready to act swiftly when the order is given. American officials stated there is no indication that Israel will target Iran’s nuclear facilities or assassinate its leadership, with the attack expected to focus on military targets and energy infrastructure. It was noted that the U.S. administration has cautioned Israel that the retaliation must be limited to military targets and proportionate. NBC’s report followed a phone call between U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant, although it remains unknown whether concrete details of the retaliation plan were shared during this conversation. CNN reported that Iran has also informed the United States and certain regional countries that it will respond to Israel’s anticipated attack.
