Washington, D.C. – The White House announced on Tuesday its belief that Iran is in the process of planning an imminent ballistic missile attack aimed at Israel.

According to a senior White House official, the United States has received intelligence indicating that Iran is preparing to launch a direct military attack against Israel using ballistic missiles. The official emphasized that the US is actively supporting defensive measures to protect Israel and that Iran will face severe consequences if it proceeds with the attack.

In light of the threat, the US has expressed readiness to assist Israel in intercepting any missiles directed by Iran, similar to the support provided in April during a previous drone and missile attack. The success of intercepting the majority of incoming threats during the prior incident has bolstered confidence in the defense capabilities.

The scale of the anticipated Iranian attack remains unclear at this time, heightening tensions between Israel and Iran. Recent weeks have seen a significant escalation in tensions as Israel has intensified operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, a militant group supported by Iran. Israel’s latest ground operation in southern Lebanon specifically targeting Hezbollah has added to the growing unrest in the region.

As the situation continues to evolve rapidly, updates on developments regarding the potential missile attack are expected. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, exacerbated by recent events, underscores the fragile state of affairs in the Middle East and the potential for further escalation.

This story is unfolding, and additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
