The White House announced on Tuesday that the United States believes Iran is preparing an imminent ballistic missile attack against Israel.
“The U.S. has indications that Iran is preparing an imminent ballistic missile attack on Israel,” a senior White House official said in a statement reported by CNN.
The U.S. is actively supporting Israel’s defensive preparations to protect itself from this potential strike.
The official warned that a direct attack by Iran on Israel would have serious consequences for Iran.

The U.S. is ready to do whatever is necessary to help Israel intercept any attack.
A U.S. official noted that this action mirrors the response in April when Iran launched a wave of drones and missiles at Israel.
Most of the projectiles were successfully intercepted during that event.
The exact scope of Iran’s anticipated attack this time remains unclear.
Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated in recent weeks.
