Iran has warned the White House that if the US defends Israel against its retaliation for the Damascus strike, Iran will consider the US a viable target as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US and its allies believe Iran or its proxies are preparing for major missile or drone strikes against military and government targets in Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The potential assault, possibly using high-precision missiles, may happen in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conflict has led to a 16% increase in oil prices this year, driven by the war risk premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran has threatened to retaliate against Israel for an attack on a diplomatic compound in Damascus that killed senior Iranian military officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israeli government and military facilities are expected to be targeted, while civilian facilities are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US officials are assisting Israel with planning and sharing intelligence assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel is considering launching a ground offensive against Hamas in Rafah, Gaza, after the anticipated attack from Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack from Iran and its proxies might not come from Israel’s north, where Tehran’s ally Hezbollah is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israeli officials and Western intelligence agree that a significant retaliation from Iran is likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foreign diplomatic missions are preparing for potential strikes, making contingency plans for evacuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden administration has signaled its support for Israel in the event of an attack by Iran or its proxies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A direct Iranian strike on an Israeli city would be a first and could escalate the conflict significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israeli embassies have been considered targets for potential attacks, with several missions around the world being shuttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem issued a Security Alert and an Updated Travel Alert for Israel. They have imposed restrictions on the travel of U.S. Government Employees and their families to the cities of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Be’er Sheva, possibly as a precautionary measure ahead of anticipated retaliatory strikes by Iran against Israel. These strikes are said to be imminent and are purportedly not targeting civilian population centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
