Israel could launch a major retaliatory strike on Iran in the next hour in response to a recent missile attack, sources close to the Israeli military command say. The main target of the strike is said to be the Iranian capital Tehran, as well as major military installations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

According to preliminary data, the talk is about preparing airstrikes and missile attacks on strategic facilities in Iran. Potential targets include IRGC command centers, as well as military bases, which, according to Israeli intelligence, play a key role in supporting Iran's military operations in the Middle East. In particular, bases in areas bordering Iraq, as well as facilities associated with the development of Iranian missile programs, could be attacked.

The Israeli government held an urgent meeting with the country's top military leadership to discuss tactics for response. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "Israel will not leave an attack on its territory unanswered" and is ready to take all necessary measures to protect its citizens. He stressed that the current situation is critical and Israel is forced to respond to Iran's aggression.
