ISRAEL ATTACK ON IRAN HAPPENING SOON: SOURCES
Sources in the Middle East suggest that Israel is preparing imminent airstrikes against Iran in response to the recent ballistic missile attack launched by Tehran. In addition to airstrikes, Israeli intelligence may target senior Iranian figures, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, in a bid to neutralize key leadership. This escalation follows decades of tension between the two nations, fuelled by Iran’s support for Hezbollah and other anti-Israel groups, and Israel’s consistent efforts to disrupt Iran’s nuclear and military ambitions.
Historically, Israeli-Iranian relations have been fraught, with notable incidents such as Israel’s 1981 strike on Iraq’s nuclear reactor (Operation Opera) and the more recent cyber warfare and covert assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, widely attributed to Israeli intelligence. The current conflict is rooted in Israel’s fears over Iranian influence in the region, particularly through proxy groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, and Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear capabilities.
The situation remains volatile, with regional powers bracing for further escalations that could reverberate across the Middle East. Israel has also previously conducted targeted assassinations, such as the killing of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in 2020, demonstrating a history of pre-emptive actions against perceived existential threats.
