International Desk, Bangladesh Global: The US is on high alert and preparing for a “significant” attack by Iran that could come within the next week targeting Israeli or American assets in the region, an official told CNN on Friday. The anticipated attack would be in response to Israel's strike on the Iranian embassy in Syria that killed one of its top commanders.
Senior US officials and their Israeli counterparts believe that an attack by Iran is “inevitable”, the official told CNN. As of Friday, the two governments did not know when or how Iran planned to strike back, the official added. The airstrike on the Iranian diplomatic compound in the Syrian capital killed a top Iranian Quds Force commander, General Mohammad Reza Zahedi.
This was the most high-profile killing since Quds Force commander Major General Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in 2020.
