Iran May Strike Israel Before US Elections, Sources Say
US defense sources are warning that Israel has reportedly been put on high alert after the US received intelligence that Iran may be planning to strike targets inside Israel before the US presidential election on November 3.
Israel believes that Iran may try to carry out the attack in order to provoke a US response that could potentially damage President Trump's re-election chances.
Sources say that the intelligence is credible and that Israel is taking the threat very seriously.
The sources also say that the US is working closely with Israel to monitor the situation and take steps to deter any potential Iranian attack.
The Israeli military has reportedly increased its presence in the region and is on high alert.
The US is also said to be considering sending additional military assets to the region in order to deter any Iranian attack.
The threat of an Iranian attack on Israel comes at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries.
In recent months, Israel has carried out a number of airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria.
Iran has also been accused of supplying weapons to Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group that is considered to be a proxy for Iran.
The US has warned Iran that any attack on Israel will be met with a strong response.
The US has also said that it is committed to Israel's security and will take all necessary steps to defend it from any threats.
The situation between Iran and Israel is complex and volatile.
Any attack by Iran on Israel could have serious consequences for the region and beyond.
It is important for all parties involved to exercise restraint and work to avoid any further escalation of tensions.
