Iran-Israel Conflict may escalate further. Situations in the Middle East are escalating as reports emerge that Iran is preparing for a third direct attack on Israel. According to sources, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has instructed military officials to prepare a retaliatory strike following recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military sites.

“The resistance in the region will not back down even with the killing of its leaders, The operations were … in return for the heinous crimes committed by this bloodthirsty criminal entity”

“We do not seek war but we will defend the rights of our nation and country, we will give an appropriate response to the aggression of the Zionist regime.

Masoud Pezeshkian, President, Iran

The planned attack is expected to involve ballistic missiles and drones, may potentially be launched from Iraq, adding one more dimension in the Iran-Israel Conflict. This development comes amid a backdrop of increasing hostilities between the two nations, with both sides exchanging threats and military actions.

“Israel’s miscalculation is that it thinks Iran is afraid of direct confrontation and leaves military attacks unanswered,”- IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naeini

In response to the reports, Israeli officials have increased security measures and are precisely monitoring the situation. The western nations and Islamic nations are urging Iran & Israel to exercise restraint and seek diplomatic solutions.

Though Israel’s retaliatory strike on 26^th October 2024 avoided oil refineries & nuclear sites, mostly due to pressure diplomacy by the U.S., it appears the damage to Iranian military sites & air defense units are difficult for Iran to ignore.  U.S. has communicated to Iran not to escalate the situation further & it may be difficult for U.S. to moderate an Israeli response beyond a limit in future.

As per reports, Iran has again started to mobilize ballistic missiles to strategic locations, including their own efficient & indigenous air defense systems like Zoubin air defense system, often referred to as “Iranian Iron Dome”, that can defend against low-altitude aerial threats to the extent of 100 targets within 30 KM radius.

As the situation unfolds, the world watches nervously, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing & deteriorating Iran-Israel conflict.

Probable Targets inside Israel:

Iran’s military planners, reportedly, are chalking out potential targets inside Israel for a probable 3^rd attack on Israel, after Iran’s Supreme leader has given green light for it. There are several sensitive targets which may be part of Iranian plans.

• Military Installations & Air Base- Camp Rabin, Nevatim Air base, Haifa Naval base, Urim base
• Government Buildings, including Netanyahu’s residence & Ministry of defense, Mossad Office
• Major economic hubs– Tel Aviv Stock exchange, Diamond exchange district-Bursa
• Critical Infrastructures- Rutenberg power station, Leviathan gas field, Ben Gurion International Airport, Haifa Port

Above mentioned sites are probable targets, and Israel is taking all necessary safety measures to protect all sites of importance including the above ones.
