The United States has warned that Iran is preparing to launch a missile attack on Israel, as tensions in the region continue to escalate. This comes as Israel has launched a military invasion of southern Lebanon, sparking concerns of a wider conflict.
According to sources, the US has received intelligence suggesting that Iran is planning to launch a barrage of missiles at Israeli targets, in response to recent airstrikes carried out by Israel against Iranian-backed militia groups in Syria.
Meanwhile, Israel has launched a military operation in southern Lebanon, with reports of airstrikes and artillery fire targeting Hezbollah positions. The Israeli military has stated that the operation is aimed at disrupting the flow of weapons and supplies to Hezbollah from Iran.
The US has urged both sides to exercise restraint and avoid any actions that could lead to a wider conflict. "We are deeply concerned about the situation in the region and urge all parties to refrain from any actions that could lead to further escalation," said a State Department spokesperson.
The Israeli military has stated that its operation in southern Lebanon is aimed at preventing the transfer of advanced weapons to Hezbollah, which has been designated as a terrorist organization by the US and Israel.
The invasion of southern Lebanon has sparked widespread protests and condemnations from Lebanese and international leaders, with many calling for an immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces.
The situation in the region remains highly volatile, with fears of a wider conflict between Israel and Iran-backed forces in Lebanon and Syria.
