We’re writing with critical updates on a rapidly escalating threat from Iran. According to recent reports from The Wall Street Journal, Iran has informed regional diplomats of its plans for a powerful, complex attack on Israel in retaliation for Israel's October 26 airstrikes, which severely damaged strategic Iranian missile production facilities and air defenses. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed a “crushing response,” involving new, advanced weaponry and stronger warheads. This time, the Iranian military itself will be directly involved, marking an escalation beyond previous assaults led solely by the IRGC. Sources close to the situation say the Iraqi territory potentially being used as a launch site for the attack. The timing is equally concerning, as Iran’s plans reportedly aim to strike around the U.S. election but before a new administration can take office, a window that may test shifting U.S. foreign policy dynamics. With tensions mounting, Israel’s readiness to respond has taken on new urgency, as any further escalation would trigger a conflict of unprecedented scope. In these volatile days, Zaka Tel-Aviv remains vigilant, preparing to respond to any crisis affecting our communities.
