Iran is reportedly moving missile launchers and conducting military drills in possible preparation for retaliatory strikes on Israel following the killing of Hamas' political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, US officials have said.
A US official told Reuters that the timing and "specifics of such an attack" remain unclear, adding that it has not stopped Israel from preparing and the US from aiding in its efforts.
Biden's government was working with Israel to thwart a possible attack from Iran as it did in April after Iran launched unprecedented strikes on Israel after Israel's strike on Iran's embassy in Syria.
The chief of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has landed in Israel in preparation for a retaliatory attack and held a meeting with the chief of the Israeli army to "coordinate" defence.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that Tel Aviv would consider launching a pre-emptive strike on Iran if its intelligence found "airtight evidence" that Tehran was preparing an attack.
