Iranian Attack On Israel "Imminent" - Bloomberg

Bloomberg reporting that the US and allies believe, "major missile or drone strikes by Iran or its proxies against military and government targets in Israel are imminent," in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Damascus on April 1. The airstrike killed Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a high ranking IRGC officer widely believed to be involved in Hezbollah's military leadership.

• Bloomberg sources note that a potential assault in the coming days, "possibly using high-precision missiles," is seen, "as more a matter of when, not if."
• Any attack on Israel or US military targets in the region would constitute a major escalation of the war between Israel and Hamas and threaten to draw Iran and the US closer to direct conflict - seen as a worse-case-scenario for regional stability.
• President Biden said at a press conference a few moments ago: "...as I told [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu - our commitment to the security of Israel in the face of these threats from Iran and its proxies is an ironclad commitment."
• The Bloomberg report notes that an attack "may not necessarily" come from Hezbollah and notes that Israel, "is waiting for this attack to take place before launching another ground offensive against Hamas in Rafah in Gaza."
• The Time of Israel reported yesterday that, "Israel has signaled that it will attack targets in Iran if it were to launch a direct attack," with potential targets likely to include Iranian nuclear facilities and other key infrastructure.
• The Washington Post reported today that Iran's nuclear enrichment programme has accelerated to such an extent it could produce a "crude" nuclear device "in as little as six months."
