Americans told to avoid travel within Israel, U.S. troops and warships moved to positions in the Middle East, and a warning from President Biden of a “sooner than later” attack has Washington on edge over a possible Iranian retaliation strike on the ally country this weekend, a move that could trigger a regional war.
Western intelligence on Friday assessed that Israel was bracing itself for a major attack from Iran that could come as soon as Saturday, Bloomberg reported, a judgment that appeared to be backed by U.S. troops and warships moved to positions in the Middle East and a warning from Biden.
Asked Friday about how imminent an attack on Israel may be, the commander in chief said he didn’t want to get into classified information but that his “expectation is sooner than later.”
The State Department also issued updated security warnings for U.S. government employees in Israel, restricting them and their families from personal travel outside of the greater Tel Aviv area, Jerusalem and the southern city of Be’er Sheva.
