Amwaj-Golan Could Be In Iran's Sights w/Less Risk Of Israel Retaliation

Middle East-focused outlet Amwaj.media reporting that according to its Iranian sources any response to the strike on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus attributed to Israel could come against the disputed Golan Heights region. The nature of Iran's retaliaiton - if any - is under major scrutiny amid heightened regional tensions.

  • Amwaj: "Acknowledging rumors in Tehran of the occupied Golan Heights being a prime target, the source said that “an answer is coming” and that he “personally” believes that “it will be a limited but precise” strike. The source qualified his assessment by emphasizing that “these are all guesses”."
  • Amwaj: "A second Iranian source who is usually well-informed about deliberations at senior levels said an operation in the Golan Heights [...] carries “less risk of Israeli retaliation.” The source expressed doubts about whether such a target would lead to Israel making good on its threat to attack Iran...”
  • US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), ranking member on the Senate Intelligence Committee, posted on X earlier: "Iran wants to launch a large scale attack from their own territory against Israel. Israel will respond instantly with an even more severe counterattack inside of Iran. What happens next is the most dangerous Middle East moment since 1973."
