Israel's Air Force Prepares for Potential Strike on Iranian Nuclear Sites, UK Media Reports

An unnamed Western security source told an Arabic news station in London that West Jerusalem will attack the Iranian nuclear program if Tehran reacts to the attack on the embassy in Damascus by bombing Israel.

Last week, Israel attacked the Iranian consulate in Damascus and killed two generals of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and several other soldiers. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, has said that Israel will "get a slap in the face" for its actions.

The Arabic-language news website Elaph News, which is based in the UK, says that Israel has been teaching pilots how to attack "sensitive sites" in Iran. These sites could be in Tehran's nuclear program.

The newspaper Sun read Elaph's story and made a list of possible Israeli targets. The list included the Arak heavy-water reactor, the Bushehr nuclear power station, the Gachin uranium mine, and the Natanz uranium processing plant. According to The Sun, if Israel attacked any of them, it would be a "unprecedented escalation" in the war in the Middle East.

A source told Elaph that the US "will remain supportive of Israel" and give it all the help, weapons, and gear it needs for this task. A source also said that US President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington will support West Jerusalem "no matter what."

To get ready for a possible response from Iran, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have already canceled all leave and started to fake GPS signals. Several US news sites, citing US intelligence sources, said that Tehran planned to attack Israeli infrastructure with ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones after the Islamic holy month of Ramadan is over.

There is no doubt that Iran will respond to the attack on the consulate in Damascus by attacking Israel, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech last Friday. CNN, on the other hand, cited unnamed American spies who said Iran was "unlikely" to attack directly because it was afraid of reaction from the US and Israel. Instead, they said, Iran would use different agents in the area.
