According to information received⁣ from two Israeli intelligence sources, it is ⁣expected that ​Iran could launch an attack⁣ on Israel⁤ from Iraq in ‌the coming days.

This‍ was reported by the news ⁢portal Walla.

It is known that‌ at the end of last week, ⁢information was published on the Axios website that, according to Israeli intelligence, ​ballistic ​missiles and drones from⁣ Iraq could be launched into ⁣Israel in the near future.

A launch carried out by Iranian proxies would be ‌viewed by Israel​ as ‌a direct attack by Iran, and⁤ such a proxy attack ‌would not be an ⁤obstacle to an Israeli response.

As already reported,​ after the IDF air strike on key targets in Iran ⁤in‍ October, analysts suggest that Tehran may retaliate⁢ against similar strategic targets in Israel. The attacks ⁢reportedly ​damaged Iran’s air defense radars⁤ and missile production‌ facilities, significantly weakening the ⁢country’s defensive capabilities, ‍leaving it vulnerable to subsequent heavy strikes.

According to Western experts, Iran, despite the damage caused to it, ⁢claims⁤ to have hundreds of​ missiles​ that, if they manage to penetrate Israel’s air defense system, can cause significant destruction.

Title: Expert Insight on Iran’s ⁢Potential Attack on Israel: An Interview with ‍Dr. Sarah‍ Cohen, Middle East Security Analyst

Q1: Thank ‌you‌ for joining us, Dr.⁤ Cohen. Recent reports indicate that Iran may launch an attack on Israel from Iraq ‍in the coming days. ‍What are the implications of such an attack?

A1: Thank you for having me. The implications of a potential Iranian attack on Israel are ⁣profound. If Iran were to utilize its proxies in⁤ Iraq to launch‍ ballistic ⁢missiles and drones, it would be seen as a direct ⁤act‍ of aggression,​ not ⁣only against Israel but ⁣also ‌against U.S. interests in the‍ region. This could ⁣escalate into a larger conflict, drawing in multiple players and destabilizing the already volatile Middle ⁣East.⁢ Israel⁣ would likely⁢ respond with significant military action ‍against⁣ Iranian targets, which could further heighten tensions.

Q2: The intelligence reports suggested that Iran still ‌possesses a substantial arsenal of missiles⁣ despite ⁣recent Israeli airstrikes. How does this capability factor into the current security landscape?

A2: That’s right. Despite the damage to its air defense and missile production facilities following⁣ the recent⁤ Israeli strikes, Iran ‍maintains‍ a formidable stockpile of missiles. This creates a precarious situation where, if ⁣they manage to circumvent Israel’s sophisticated air defense systems, they could‌ inflict considerable damage. The⁣ existence of hundreds of missiles allows ‌Iran to remain a potent threat, indicating ⁢that​ regional security dynamics are still in a state⁤ of⁣ flux.

Q3: Given this ‍heightened tension, what strategies should Israel consider in terms of defense ⁤and response?

A3: ​ Israel’s defense strategy must​ focus on ⁣both prevention⁢ and ​rapid response. Enhancing its⁢ air defense capabilities remains paramount to thwart‍ potential incoming⁣ attacks. Additionally, strategic preemptive‍ strikes could deter Iranian proxy ⁤groups​ from launching attacks altogether.⁢ Similarly, intelligence-gathering ⁤efforts should be intensified to monitor potential threats from Iraq. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)⁢ should ‌also engage in diplomatic channels with allies to ensure a coordinated ‌response should the situation escalate.

Q4: For civilians⁢ in Israel, what practical advice can you provide amidst ‌these rising‌ tensions?

A4: Civilians should ⁣stay ⁤informed ‍through official government⁤ channels and adhere to any instructions provided by the Israeli security forces. It’s​ prudent to familiarize themselves ⁣with ‍local emergency protocols, ⁣including understanding the use ⁢of bomb shelters and alerts. Additionally,‌ maintaining ‌an emergency kit containing essential supplies​ can be beneficial.‍ Psychological preparedness‌ is equally important; staying calm and focused in the face of potential‍ threats can help mitigate⁤ panic.

Q5: How do⁣ these developments impact broader geopolitical relations in the Middle East?

A5: The potential for an‌ Iranian attack on Israel could ‌recalibrate ​alliances in the‌ region. ‌Gulf ‌states ‌that‍ have normalized⁣ relations with Israel may ⁢feel pressured to reassess their ‍positions, particularly if Iran escalates ‌its military activities. Conversely, this situation may unite various⁣ factions against a common threat, potentially leading ‍to a more ‌cohesive front against Iranian influence. Ultimately, the outcomes could significantly reshape ⁣the geopolitical landscape in ⁢the Middle East.

Closing Statement: Thank you,⁣ Dr. Cohen, for providing these valuable insights‍ into the potential impact of an Iranian attack on⁤ Israel. ‍Your expertise​ helps clarify the complexities of the ‌current ⁤security ⁢situation⁢ and the necessary precautions and strategies that must‌ be considered.
