Following Iran's threats to strike U.S. military bases, Israel is preparing for a potential escalation that could lead to missile attacks on its territory.
With tensions rising, Israeli defense officials are considering the possibility that an Iranian attack on the United States could quickly spiral into a broader military confrontation, drawing Israel into direct conflict. Given Iran's increasing hostility and dwindling strategic options, Israeli security experts are taking the threats of a missile assault seriously.
In a recently published interview, the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Air Force, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, warned that Iran could destroy U.S. bases in the Middle East if attacked. He declared that such a strike could result in "tens of thousands of casualties."
The Iranian threat remains a dominant topic in global security discussions, particularly amid Tehran’s ongoing public clashes with U.S. President Donald Trump. After Iran refused direct negotiations over its nuclear program, Trump issued a stark warning, vowing that Iran would face bombing "like never before" if it pursued aggression.
In response, Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have escalated their rhetoric, warning that any attack on Iran would come at an "immense cost" and be met with severe retaliation.
As regional tensions reach a boiling point, Israel remains on high alert, closely monitoring Iran’s moves and preparing for any potential military fallout.
