Israel has sent a clear warning to Iran that it is prepared to respond immediately to any attack on its territory. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Israeli officials have made it clear that any attack, regardless of its size or casualties, will be met with a harsh response from the Jewish state.

Israeli officials stressed that in the event of an attack, the response could be a strike on strategically important sites in Iran, including nuclear and oil installations. This position was conveyed through diplomatic channels in order to prevent possible escalatory steps by Tehran. Israeli defense officials noted that any security threat would be dealt with immediately and decisively.
