Will Iran attack Israel in the next few days?

"The Islamic Republic of Iran will launch a decisive and forceful response," CNN quoted a source as saying.

CNN 's sources did not provide an exact timeline for the attack, but said it "is likely to happen before the US presidential election" scheduled for November 5th. In addition to CNN , many other US media outlets have also reported that Iran's retaliatory action could be carried out in the coming days.

At least three high-ranking Iranian officials have declared retaliation for Israel's latest attack, but have not revealed a timeframe for carrying it out.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander-in-chief Hossein Salami said Iran would " respond with strong actions " following the Israeli attack. Meanwhile, IRGC deputy commander Ali Fadavi declared that a retaliatory response was "unavoidable."

" For over 40 years, we have never ignored an attack without responding," said Ali Fadavi.

On the other hand, two Israeli sources revealed intelligence indicating that Iran is planning an attack in the coming days, possibly before the US elections.

However, Iranian sources cited by the New York Times suggest the attack was more likely to occur after the election, in order to limit former President Donald Trump's chances of re-election.

The newspaper quoted three officials as revealing that Khamenei ordered preparations for a retaliatory attack after assessing that the damage inflicted by Israel was too great to ignore.

In the latest developments in the Middle East, Israel launched a series of attacks on targets in Iranian territory on October 26th. This was in retaliation for Iran's airstrikes on Israel earlier in October, after Tel Aviv killed an Iranian military commander and a Hezbollah leader who supports Iran.

Amid escalating violence, the two countries are engaging in numerous direct clashes.
