Iran is reportedly planning a strong and complex attack on Israel, according to multiple reports from the Wall Street Journal. Tehran has informed regional diplomats, including Arab diplomats, that the attack will involve more powerful warheads and other advanced weaponry. The Iranian military, including both the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its conventional army, is expected to participate in the operation. This planned response comes after Iran lost four soldiers and a civilian in a recent Israeli attack. The attack is expected to be more aggressive and may involve operations from Iraqi territory, targeting Israeli military facilities. An Egyptian official noted that Iran has warned privately of this response, and Iranian officials have indicated that the response will occur after the U.S. election.
