In the aftermath of its multi-phase assault on Iran, Israel is preparing for a full-scale war, deploying over 10,000 troops along its borders. The operation, named “Rising Lion,” targeted several strategic Iranian locations. IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi declared that the military had been preparing extensively to counter imminent threats. Though confident in the military’s readiness, he warned of possible Iranian retaliation. Meanwhile, Iran has promised a severe response to the Israeli attacks, especially those targeting its nuclear facilities, vowing that the aggression will not go unanswered.
