US sees signs of imminent Iran air strike on *******

The ******* States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile ******* against ******* that could be at least as large as a strike that Tehran staged earlier this year, US officials said.

The ******* States is actively supporting preparations to defend ******* against a new Iranian missile *******, a senior White House official said.

“A direct military ******* from Iran against ******* will carry severe consequences for Iran,” the official said.

A second US official said that the Iranian strike could be as large or potentially ******* than one on April 14 in which Tehran launched more than 300 missiles and drones.

Iran’s mission to the ******* Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The April ******* – the first-ever direct Iranian strike on ******* – was in retaliation for what Iran called an ******** strike on its Damascus consulate that ******* seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers, including two senior commanders.

It caused only modest damage inside ******* due to air defence interceptions not only by *******, but by the ******* States, Britain and other allies in the region.

The US warning of a looming Iranian strike followed *******’s announcement that its forces staged raids into southern Lebanon in a limited incursion as it pursues two weeks of strikes against Hezbollah militants that have ******* the Iran-backed group’s leader and senior commanders.

******** leaders have vowed to pursue operations against the militants until it is safe for civilians to return to their homes in northern ******* from which they were evacuated after Hezbollah began missile strikes on October 8, a day after ******’ ******** into *******.

The ****** ******** triggered the ongoing ******** offensive that has devastated Gaza.

The Pentagon has said that the ******* States would come to *******’s defence if Iran launched another *******.

It has moved thousands of additional US forces into the region to bolster its ability to defend ******* and US forces in the region. Pentagon officials say it is even better prepared for a new Iranian ******* than it was in April.

*******’s defence, however, could also depend on whether Middle East nations will rally again to aid *******.

Saudi Arabia and other Gulf allies have air defences that could assist in *******’s defence, and nations like Jordan could decide whether to allow countries aiding ******* to use its airspace.

An Iranian *******, should it occur, could pose a major challenge to President Joe Biden’s administration goal for his Middle East policy: preventing the *******-****** war from ballooning into a regional conflict.
