Israel is at a “high level of readiness” as it awaits a potential response from Iran to its airstrikes last week, a military source tells CNN.

Iranian leaders have been threatening to carry out a reprisal action after the Israeli Air Force attacked anti-aircraft batteries and radar sites across Iran on October 26 in retaliation for a massive Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel on October 1.

The military source tells CNN that Israel’s strikes “created a dilemma for Tehran” since it diminished its capability to attack and defend against an Israeli response.
