Israeli forces are on high alert, anticipating a retaliatory strike from Iran or its proxies. This could potentially escalate into a broader conflict in the region. Iran is expected to launch an attack soon in response to an airstrike on an Iranian Embassy building in Damascus. Military analysts believe neither Israel nor Iran wants a full-blown war, but a miscalculation could lead to increased hostilities. The killing of a top Iranian general in Syria has made an Iranian response inevitable. Iran is likely to strike in a way that saves face but avoids a fierce counterstrike. Communication between Iran and Israel is limited, increasing the risk of misinterpretation. American intelligence suggests Iran will target multiple locations in Israel in the coming days. The specifics of these strikes remain unknown, but they will influence Israel’s response. Israel has warned that an attack from inside Iran would be considered an escalation. The situation remains tense as both sides navigate the delicate balance of power. Source: www.nytimes.com
