### US Warns of Imminent Iranian Missile Attack on Israel

The United States has announced its belief that Iran is preparing to launch a ballistic missile attack on Israel in the near future. According to a senior White House official, the US has gathered indications pointing towards the imminent threat and is actively assisting Israel in defensive preparations.

"We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran," the official stated.

In April, during a similar situation where Iran launched a series of drones and missiles towards Israel, the US offered extensive support that helped Israel intercept the majority of the projectiles. This time, the exact scale of the anticipated Iranian attack remains unclear, but the US reaffirms its preparedness to support Israel.

The rising tensions between Israel and Iran have been particularly pronounced in recent weeks. Israel has intensified its actions against Hezbollah, the militant group in Lebanon backed by Iran. Just on Monday, Israel initiated a ground operation in southern Lebanon aimed at targeting Hezbollah positions.

The international community is closely monitoring the developments, given the potential for significant escalation in the region. The US has made it clear that any direct military action from Iran against Israel will result in severe repercussions for Iran.
