US officials say Israel plans to strike Iran in retaliation for the October 1 missile attack. The targets of the strike have not yet been determined, but the main focus will be on Iran's military and energy infrastructure. Final decisions on the timing and nature of a possible attack have not yet been made.
In response to the minor damage caused to Israel by Iran's missile attack, Tehran authorities responded to Israeli operations in Lebanon and the elimination of Iran's allies. Israel does not yet plan to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, but the United States does not rule out larger retaliatory measures.
The United States and Israel continue to coordinate actions within the framework of a strategic alliance, although many details of the Israeli strategy remain secret. It is expected that retaliatory actions may be related to the Yom Kippur holiday. The US calls on Israel to take a balanced approach and avoid attacks on oil and nuclear facilities to prevent an escalation of the conflict.
