Rising Tensions: Iran Reportedly Planning Strike on Israel from Iraq

 

According to recent reports from Axios, Israeli intelligence has indicated that Iran is preparing to launch a significant retaliatory strike on Israel from Iraqi territory within the next few days. This development comes amidst escalating tensions between the two nations, following a series of tit-for-tat military actions.

The anticipated attack is expected to involve a large number of drones and ballistic missiles, potentially targeting strategic locations within Israel. Israeli sources suggest that Iran might be using pro-Iranian militias in Iraq to carry out the strike, possibly to avoid direct retaliation on Iranian soil.

This move is seen as a response to Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iranian military infrastructure, which were themselves a reaction to Iran’s earlier missile barrage against Israel. Iranian officials have vowed a “definitive and painful” response, with high-ranking sources indicating that the retaliation will be unlike any previous scenarios.

As the situation develops, the international community watches closely, hoping for a de-escalation of hostilities in the region.
