Oct 31, 2024, 06:40 PM

Israeli intelligence indicates that Iran is preparing a significant retaliatory strike against Israel from Iraqi territory in the coming days, possibly before the U.S. presidential election on November 5, according to two unnamed Israeli sources cited by Axios. The planned attack is expected to involve a large number of drones and ballistic missiles and would be conducted through proxy militias to avoid direct retaliation against Iran. This could mark a serious escalation in the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran.
