The White House said Tuesday morning that the United States has received indications that Iran is preparing to launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel in the near future. “The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel. We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran,” an unnamed senior White House official said in a statement. This warning comes as Israel launches a ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, on the heels of killing its leader Hassan Nasrallah and decimating the terrorist organization’s senior military leadership, as well as after killing and injuring thousands of other Hezbollah terrorists in pager and walkie-talkie explosions.
