Israeli media is reporting growing anxiety within the Zionist regime over an expected Iranian retaliation following a wave of assassinations and attacks carried out by Tel Aviv against Iran’s top military and nuclear leadership.
According to Israel’s Kan Broadcasting Corporation, a senior official declared:
“We must be prepared for an Iranian strike. It’s a price we are ready to pay to prevent Iran from possessing a nuclear bomb.”
Tel Aviv Admits Escalation: “There Are Difficult Days Ahead”
A senior Israeli military official told Channel 14:
“Iran will respond. If the public remains disciplined, the human losses will be fewer.”
He added that Israel had “achieved an unprecedented accomplishment” by delivering a heavy blow to Iran’s top military and Revolutionary Guard commanders, referring to the wave of assassinations targeting high-ranking Iranian figures.
“We have a long and extensive offensive plan for the coming days,” he warned, noting that “complex days lie ahead,” and that Iran’s response is inevitable.
Anticipating Iran’s First Blow: Hundreds of Missiles Expected
Israeli Army Radio reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had received an intelligence briefing forecasting that Iran’s retaliation could occur within hours—a direct response to the dozens of airstrikes Israel launched at dawn, which killed key Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists.
The Israeli military expects that Iran’s initial retaliation will include hundreds of ballistic missiles fired at Israeli targets—a scenario that has triggered panic across Israeli military and political establishments.
Operation “Rising Lion”: The Beginning of Open War
The Israeli army confirmed the launch of what it dubbed “Operation Rising Lion”—a full-scale military campaign against Iran, beginning with coordinated airstrikes involving dozens of warplanes.
Following the strikes, Channel 12 reported that several senior Israeli officials were immediately evacuated to secure locations, anticipating counter-assassination attempts by Iranian operatives.
Meanwhile, Channel 13 cited a senior Israeli official stating:
“We are preparing for several days of combat.”
The escalation has prompted the closure of Israeli airspace “until further notice”, as announced by Israeli military radio—a rare move that underlines the seriousness of the security threat.
Zionist Defense Minister Declares State of Emergency
The occupation’s Minister of War, Yisrael Katz, confirmed the declaration of a nationwide state of emergency, citing what he called a “pre-emptive” Israeli operation against Iran.
He warned that missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli cities and civilians were imminent, stating:
“We expect missile and UAV attacks in the very near future.”
A Moment of Reckoning Approaches
For years, the Zionist regime has waged a shadow war against Iran—through sabotage, assassinations, sanctions, and psychological operations. But today, that war has burst into the open.
As Israel prepares for Iranian retaliation, it acknowledges—albeit indirectly—that the era of impunity is over. The “price” Tel Aviv claims it is ready to pay may be far greater than it expects.
The coming days may determine not only the scale of Iran’s response, but the future of the entire region’s geopolitical balance—one where Zionist aggression will no longer go unanswered, and resistance will speak with fire.
