Payam Javan: The United States has received intelligence suggesting that Iran is preparing to launch a ballistic missile attack on Israel, according to a senior White House official. The official, speaking via email to The Epoch Times, confirmed that U.S. officials are working closely with Israeli counterparts to bolster defensive measures in anticipation of the possible strike. The official warned that any direct attack from Iran on Israel would have significant repercussions for Iran.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces have been conducting cross-border raids into Lebanon as tensions rise in the region. Early Tuesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) initiated ground operations, signaling ongoing efforts to address security threats from its northern border. Despite the recent escalations, Israeli military leadership has downplayed the immediate threat of an Iranian missile attack.

Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari, spokesperson for the IDF, stated that Israel remains on high alert for any potential threats. However, he noted that the IDF does not currently identify any immediate air threats from Iran. The military is maintaining peak readiness for both offensive and defensive operations, prepared to respond swiftly to any evolving situation.
