Washington is on high alert as it anticipates a retaliatory response from Iran after the recent killing of a top Hamas leader in Tehran. The uncertainty surrounding the timing and extent of Iran's potential retaliation has put US officials on edge.
Multiple sources indicate that the US expects Iran to retaliate against Israel for the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, with concerns that the response could come within the next 24 hours. However, predicting Iran's actions has proven challenging due to the movement of military assets earlier this year, complicating intelligence assessments.
