Israel ‘can handle’ any threat from Iran, says military chief
BBC-April7th2024
Israel’s military has said it is prepared for any Iranian threat, as tension builds after Monday’s attack on an Iranian consulate in Damascus.
Israel is widely believed to be behind the attack, which Iran said killed seven Revolutionary Guard officers.
An Iranian official said on Sunday that Israel’s embassies were “no longer safe”, as it prepares a response.
US and Israeli forces in the region have been put on high alert in anticipation of a possible attack.
Reports in the US media suggest Iran’s retaliation could take place in the coming days.
