US Indicates Iran is Preparing for Ballistic Missile Attack on Israel, White House Official Says

Title: U.S. Warns of Potential Iranian Missile Attack on Israel

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A senior official from the White House informed that the United States has indications that Iran is preparing to launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel in the near future.

In response, the United States is actively engaged in supporting Israel’s defense preparations against this potential threat, according to the official.

The official emphasized, "A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran."

This warning comes in the wake of Israel’s announcement of limited incursions by its commando and paratroop units into southern Lebanon. These operations are aimed at targeting Hezbollah militants, particularly in response to the recent killings of the Iran-backed group’s leader and senior commanders.

Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not provide an immediate comment regarding these claims.

Additionally, the U.S. military warned Iran on Sunday against escalating the conflict, noting an increase in air support capabilities in the region and elevating troop readiness.
