The publication AXIOS, citing a high-ranking official of the White House, reports that Iran is preparing for an imminent attack on Israel.

Points of attention

  • Iran wants to use ballistics and drones to attack Israel.
  • Journalists speculate that this could lead to an all-out war in the Middle East.
  • Iran and Israel have been waging a shadow war for several years, but the conflict is now approaching direct confrontation.

Iran is preparing an attack on Israel

It is worth noting that information about the upcoming attack was also received by journalists of The New York Times.

According to their data, it may begin within the next 12 hours.

The publication also indicates that Tehran plans to strike Israel with ballistic missiles. In addition, Iran also wants to use many drones.

The target of the new Iranian attack will be three military air bases, as well as the intelligence headquarters north of Tel Aviv, which has already been evacuated.

Journalists draw attention to the fact that any attack will significantly increase the risk of an all-out war between Israel and Iran and its proxies in the Middle East.

For years, the two countries have waged a shadow war, with Iran seeking to destroy Israel and Israel seeking to blunt Iran's regional influence, destroy its nuclear program and overthrow its government. Now they are getting closer to a direct confrontation, the NYT writes.

In addition, the US Embassy in Israel is said to have put its staff on high alert, ordering them to return home and prepare for bomb shelters.

Official Tel Aviv said that it is ready to repel an attack from Iran.

Israel was able to eliminate one of the most famous terrorists

On September 28, the Israeli army announced that it was able to successfully destroy the leader of "Hezbollah" Hassan Nasrallah.

What is important to understand is that this happened as a result of an airstrike on Beirut.

The IDF notes that Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah and one of its founders, was killed along with Ali Karki, the commander of Hezbollah's Southern Front, and other Hezbollah commanders.

After receiving accurate intelligence from the IDF and Israeli security services, we confirm that the IDF fighter jets launched a targeted strike against the central headquarters of the terrorist organization Hezbollah, which was located underground under a residential building in the Dahiye district of Beirut.

When Putin might agree to a truce — Estonia's forecast

What to expect from Putin next?
Source:  The Guardian

Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur believes that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin may agree to sign an agreement with US President Donald Trump's team on a ceasefire on the front in Ukraine by May 9 because of his love of "special dates."

Points of attention

  • Pevkur's analysis is based on Putin's past actions, such as launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine shortly after Russia's Armed Forces Day, emphasizing the significance of historical dates.
  • The upcoming talks between US special representative Steve Witkoff and Putin in Russia underscore the ongoing dialogue and potential for a ceasefire agreement between the two nations.

What to expect from Putin next?

Journalists asked the Estonian minister why he concluded that the aggressor country, Russia, would try to conclude an agreement with the United States by May 9.

"I read the signs. Putin was always attentive to dates," emphasized Hanno Pevkur.

Against this background, he also recalled that on February 23, 2022, Russia celebrated Armed Forces Day, and the next day — February 24 — Putin ordered the launch of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

"Therefore, I believe that May 9, which for us is Europe Day, for Russia is the day of the end of World War II, they will strive, perhaps, for this to get some kind of agreement, some kind of truce or something like that," Pevkur voiced his forecast.

What is important to understand is that on April 11, it became known that the US President's special representative, Steve Witkoff, once again traveled to Russia.

In Moscow, he will hold talks with dictator Putin regarding a ceasefire on the front.
