Israel Ready for Military Action Against Iran, U.S. Warns of Regional Retaliation: Report

Amid rising tensions, Israel has reportedly informed the U.S. of its preparedness to strike Iran, sparking fears of retaliation. Security advisories have been issued as the Middle East watches closely.

Jerusalem, June 12 – Israel has reportedly conveyed to the United States that it is fully prepared to carry out a military operation against Iran, according to a CBS News report citing U.S. sources familiar with the matter. The communication is said to have been made recently, indicating the growing seriousness of the regional tensions.

According to the report, U.S. intelligence believes that Iran could respond with retaliatory attacks, potentially targeting American military installations and diplomatic assets in Iraq or other neighboring countries. In anticipation of such developments, the U.S. government issued fresh security advisories on Wednesday, urging certain American citizens and personnel to leave the region.

Although Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of a military strike, officials have declined to comment publicly on the growing speculation around a potential offensive targeting Iranian nuclear or military infrastructure.

The situation comes amid heightened concern over Iran’s expanding nuclear capabilities and continued tensions in the Middle East. In a related development, Axios reported earlier this week that former U.S. President Donald Trump, during a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressed opposition to the use of military force and reiterated his belief that a diplomatic nuclear agreement with Iran remains achievable.

While Israel has consistently maintained that it will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, the country’s leadership has also warned of taking pre-emptive action if necessary. Iran, on the other hand, has dismissed such warnings and accused Israel of escalating tensions through provocations and covert operations.

Regional observers and international stakeholders are closely monitoring the developments, as any military conflict between Israel and Iran could have widespread consequences for the stability of the Middle East.

As of now, no official announcement has been made regarding the initiation of any military operation.
