Israeli intelligence officials believe Iran has settled on attacking Israel in the coming days over the assassination of Hamas’ top leader, according to a new report.
The updated assessment on Tehran’s expected retaliation suggests the attack could even come before Thursday, sources told Axios reporter Barak Ravid.
That would be before scheduled hostage negotiation talks between Hamas and Israel on Aug. 15, which the terror group announced Sunday it was backing out of.
Iran has been assessing its options on attacking Israel for nearly two weeks, after a suspected Israeli bomb killed former Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh while he was in Tehran on July 30.
Tehran has been weighing how to retailiate after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered a direct attack on Israel over Haniyeh’s assassination, with many in Iran and across the world fearing that such an escalation would erupt into a full-scale war in the Middle East.
Iran’s newly elected president, Masoud Pezeshkian, was reportedly fighting with hardline Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leaders over the weekend regarding Tehran’s response.
The IRGC’s top generals, embarrassed over the killing of Hamas’ top official on Iranian soil, are pushing for the Islamic Republic to launch direct missile strikes on military bases in Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities, the Independent reported.

So they keep saying... But why are they waiting so long?
I assume they are still in the process of tying to figure out where Israel placed the rest of those bombs that they’ve planted in Iran. One push of a button and it’s boom boom for Iran’s leadership.
Monday Night is Tisha Ba AV the Jewish Day of Mourning for the Temples.
Iran expected to attack Israel because.....Israel allows Jews to keep breathing.
There, fixed it.
Just a few missiles lobbed with HE , most to be shot down but 1-2x killing some Jewish people with much media attention and then air strikes in retaliation?
Or a real war? With missiles and other air asserts combined with Hezbollah (sprinkled with Iranian’s in disguise) attacking from the North and perhaps even Iranian attacking/mining of oil routes?
How is Syria in this? or Jordan? Is an Iranian backed invasion of Israel by one or both of these states possible?
Ok Iran FAAFO
I strongly felt this was going to occur up until a few days ago. I’m not sure I believe this myself, but I suspect Iran has taken a full-on attack against Israel off the table. They don’t want their country effed up, and they are getting plenty of mileage out of the chaos and destruction caused by their surrogates Hama, Hezbolleh, and the Houtis.
I keep hearing tomorrow night. Jewish holiday
