Iran is reportedly preparing to launch a retaliatory attack on Israel in the coming days, following recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military sites on October 26. The attack is expected to involve ballistic missiles and drones launched from Iraqi territory. Israeli intelligence and various media outlets, including Axios and CNN, have indicated that the strike could occur before the U.S. presidential election on November 5, possibly within the next 72 hours. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered military officials to prepare for a significant response. Iranian officials, including the IRGC Commander-in-Chief, have vowed a 'decisive and firm' retaliation, which they claim will exceed all expectations and be larger than Operation True Promise. Israeli security forces are on high alert, preparing for potential large-scale attacks from Iran and other regional actors.
