Israel is preparing for the possibility that Washington could authorize a strike on Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities, according to a report by the country’s public broadcaster late Wednesday.
The broadcaster noted that the scenario of Israel striking Iran's ballistic missiles comes amid widespread focus on whether U.S. President Donald Trump will order the attack on Iran.
Israeli security establishment assessments over the past 24 hours indicate a rising likelihood of a U.S. attack on Iran, following the latest round of talks between Washington and Tehran, Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the Israeli Home Front Command to prepare for a potential war with Iran, daily Yedioth Ahronoth also said.
Netanyahu issued directives to "various rescue agencies and the Home Front Command to prepare for war.”
