Israel was on Friday bracing for an attack launched by Iran in the coming 24 to 48 hours according to a report in the Wall Street Journal quoting a source in the know.
Another source claiming to be briefed by Iranian officials told the WSJ that a final decision has yet to be made. U.S. sources said the Iranian strike would be on Israel and not one of its assets abroad.
A Lebanese official denied on Thursday a Reuters report that Beirut had agreed with Israel to a shortlist of countries that could send troops to Lebanon to verify the disarmament of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, and said it was following up on the issue with Washington.
Israel won't withdraw from southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed, the defence minister said on Thursday, qualifying remarks he made a day earlier that had suggested Israeli forces would occupy the territory indefinitely and drew U.S. criticism.
The Strait of Hormuz is "under Iran's control and management", the head of Iran's Basij paramilitary unit, Hossein Taeb, said on Thursday, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
