Iran is preparing a strong attack on Israel, reports WSJ.

Iran continues to send bold diplomatic signals of its intention to launch a comprehensive attack on Israel using more powerful warheads and other weapons. Tehran also warned that the attack would involve the regular army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. According to the article, Iran may use Iraqi territory for part of the operation this time and will target Israeli military installations more aggressively than The Wall Street Journal has previously reported.

Iran told Arab diplomats that its regular army would participate in the attack on Israel. The Egyptian official also noted that Iran had warned of a “tough and comprehensive” response. Early indications are that Iran is not going to limit its response to missiles and drones, as it previously did. The missiles are expected to have more powerful warheads, including the Emad, Ghadr, Kheibar Shekan and Fattah missiles launched in the latest attack on Israel on October 1.

A factor influencing Iran's response is the US elections. Tehran does not want to influence the election with attacks, so the response could come after the vote but before the inauguration of the new president in January. Officials from Egypt, Bahrain and Oman noted that Iranian diplomats gave a general idea of ​​the response to the US warnings, both public and private.

The White House warned Iran about a possible new missile attack on Israel. US officials have said they will no longer deter Israel if Tehran attempts another attack. Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has threatened Israel and the US with a “crushing response” to attacks on Iran and its allies. Possible further attacks could spark a wider regional conflict that is already on the brink of war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, as well as an Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon.
