Iran is preparing to launch missile strikes on four key targets in Israel, according to an Israeli source and a senior US administration official. A total of 240 to 250 ballistic missiles are expected to be launched in two waves. The headquarters of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency and three key Israeli Air Force bases are among the targets that could be hit.

According to preliminary information, the missile launch from Iranian territory may occur in the near future. According to sources, the strike will take less than 15 minutes after the attack begins. The United States and Israel have fully mobilized their defense systems and activated all missile defense systems. A representative of the American administration said that Israel does not plan to launch a preemptive strike, but is preparing for an immediate response after the attack.

The total number of missiles Iran is preparing is roughly twice the number fired in April this year, when Iran launched about 100 missiles, 99 percent of which were intercepted by Israeli air defenses, the source said.
