Israel is preparing to launch a significant retaliation against Iran within days in response to a massive missile attack on Tuesday, according to Israeli officials cited by Axios. The planned counterattack could target oil production facilities inside Iran, air defense systems, and other strategic sites, and may include targeted assassinations of key Iranian figures. Israeli defense officials convened in an underground bunker near Jerusalem to plan the response, with the Middle East on edge amid escalating tensions. Officials stated that all options are available, and if Iran attacks again, all options will be on the table. The move comes as Israel stares down the prospect of an all-out regional war.
