The US believes a major attack by Iran on Israel is imminent and could happen in the coming days, Bloomberg reports, citing unnamed sources familiar with US and Israeli intelligence assessments.

According to the report, it is a matter of when Tehran will attack rather than if Tehran will attack, but it is still unclear whether it will come from Iranian territory or one of its proxies.

The report also adds that Tehran could use high-precision missiles or drones in its assault.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said Israel “must be punished and it shall be” for allegedly attacking an Iranian consular building in Syria’s Damascus earlier this month, killing two generals among several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers.
