According to two US intelligence officials, Iran and its proxies are preparing for a potential retaliation against Israel. The sources did not comment on the kind of preparations being made.

The Iranian attack would come in response to Israel last week killing the top military commander for Iran’s most powerful proxy, Hezbollah in Lebanon. The next day, Israel is widely believed to have killed Hamas’ senior leader in Tehran, which Israel has not admitted to carrying out.

US officials are confident that Hezbollah’s and Iran’s response is imminent and initial assessment predicted an early week attack, but the most recent intelligence showed any response may be delayed until Thursday or Friday, according to Al Arabiya
