Iran’s supreme leader has instructed the country’s Supreme National Security Council to prepare for another assault on Israel, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
The report, which cited three Iranian officials, said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made the decision on Monday after reviewing a report from senior military commanders on the extent of the damage caused by last week’s Israeli strikes on Iran’s missile production capabilities and air defense systems, critical energy infrastructure and a main port.
Khamenei was said to have told his associates that the scope of Israel’s unprecedented Oct. 26 retaliatory strikes was “too large to ignore.”
The sources said that military commanders were readying a list of dozens of targets inside the Jewish state, but that the attack would likely occur after the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential vote due to concern in Tehran that additional tensions in the region could boost former President Donald Trump.
Earlier Thursday, two sources in Jerusalem told Axios that Israeli intelligence suggests the Islamic Republic was preparing to attack the Jewish state from Iraq within the coming days.
The sources said the attack was expected to be carried out “using a large number of drones and ballistic missiles.”
On Thursday night, the Israel Defense Forces announced that aerial defense systems intercepted two drones that approached the country’s territory “from the east,” a phrase the military uses to refer to Iraq.
