Senior US officials and their Israeli counterparts view an Iranian attack as unavoidable, according to the reports. As of Friday, both governments were unaware of the timing or method Iran intended to use for its retaliatory strike.

On Monday, suspected Israeli warplanes carried out a bombing on Iran’s embassy in Damascus, resulting in the death of an Iranian military commander. This attack represents a significant escalation in Israel’s ongoing conflict with its regional adversaries.

A senior official from the Biden administration stated that there has been ongoing and consistent communication between the two countries’ teams since the call. Additionally, the United States expressed its unwavering support for Israel’s defense against any threats emanating from Iran.
