"US Warns of Imminent Iranian Missile Strike on Israel"

The United States anticipates a potential attack by Iran against Israel but does not foresee it leading to war, while warning Iran against using a recent air strike as a pretext for further escalation. Tensions in the region have been heightened by a suspected Israeli strike on Iran's embassy in Damascus, prompting Iranian signals of a measured response to avoid major escalation. The U.S. has been on high alert for possible retaliatory strikes from Iran, as Iran-backed groups have declared support for Palestinians and engaged in attacks from various countries.
