Amid escalating tensions, Iran is considering a combination attack of drones and missiles on military targets near Tel Aviv and Haifa. The goal is to avoid civilian casualties and potentially involve allied forces from Yemen, Syria, and Iraq for maximum impact.
Supreme Leader Khamenei has instructed military commanders to prepare for both offensive and defensive actions in the event of war expanding with Israel or the United States. Iran vows to retaliate against Israel for the assassination of a prominent ally, with various officials openly declaring the right to self-defense.
This latest incident highlights Iran’s alliance with groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, forming the “axis of resistance.” The killing of the ally in Tehran has shocked officials and exposed vulnerabilities in Iran’s security measures, increasing the urgency to retaliate and demonstrate strength.
