Israel threatens to bomb nuke sites as Iran backs down from direct attack – report

Following last week’s strike in Damascus and threats of retaliation from Iranian officials, Israel has signaled that it will attack targets in Iran if it were to launch a direct attack, according to an Arab report Monday.

Citing an anonymous “Western security official,” the London-based Elaph News reported that Israel has been conducting air force drills in recent days that include preparing to target Iranian nuclear facilities and other key infrastructure.

Unnamed US intelligence sources told CNN, however, that Iran is unlikely to attack Israel directly out of fear of American and Israeli reprisal, and will instead urge its various proxies in the region to launch attacks on its behalf in the coming days.

BREAKING:
Iran's mission to the United Nations: Response can be avoided if the United Nations condemns the attack on our consulate in Damascus.

Iranian Foreign Minister:
"I emphasized to the foreign ministers of Great Britain, Germany and Australia the necessity of punishing the perpetrators of the attack on our consulate in Damascus, in light of the fact that the Security Council did not issue a statement condemning the Israeli attack."

Incredible all around. They have terrorized, sponsored, and trained terrorists. They are the puppet master controlling all proxies that have lobbed bombs and done other terrorist acts against Israel for dozens of years. They have been seeking WMDs in order to use against Israel. They directly led Hamas to do the Oct 7 murder/torture/rape/kidnapping raid. But because Israel (and the US, of course) has massive weaponry and will level many sites on their home soil, they will draw back for now and continue to push proxies on top of Israel and supply them to do so. What an infestation of hate, evil, and sin.
