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.
The U.S. government announced new sanctions on Thursday against firms and individuals that it says are aiding Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies in the Middle East as it intensified its campaign to isolate Iran economically.
Iranian strikes damaged multiple American military aircraft this week on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, a U.S. official told Reuters.
The Iran-backed Houthis are seeking to control the whole Yemeni Red Sea coast, which would further consolidate their leverage over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait — one of the busiest and most contested global maritime chokepoints.
