A direct attack by Iran on Israel will lead to a stronger reaction from Israel, says the United States.
The United States, through an intermediary country, warned Iran that if it launches a direct attack on Israel in the coming days, Israel’s response will be more extensive and greater than what occurred in April. This message refers to the time when hundreds of missiles and drones were launched from Iran and regional countries towards Israel.
A Western diplomat who has seen the contents of the U.S. warning told Haaretz that the Iranians received the clear message that if they attack Israel directly for the second time in six months, it will be difficult for the United States to restrain Israel.
In this context, a U.S. official told CNN that preparations for joint defense are underway, and this may include changes to the U.S. military deployment in the region.
