Iran may be considering an attack on Israeli territory in the next two to three days, Financial reported Times, citing sources close to the Iranian leadership.

As the official representative of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, Major General Ali Mohammad Naeini, said on November 2, Iran's response to the Israeli attack will be characterized by surprise and will exceed all expectations of the enemy.
