According to CBS News, Israel and the United States believe Iran is seeking revenge for Israel's bombing of the Syrian consulate and is planning a retaliatory attack that would include a swarm of drones combined with ballistic and cruise missiles.
The attack is likely to occur between now and the end of Ramadan next week, the newspaper notes.
Another key unknown is whether the drones and missiles will be launched from Iraq or Syria, which could give rise to Tehran's weak denial claims, or from Iranian territory.
Earlier, according to Voxnews, the CIA warned Israel to expect a military response from Iran within 48 hours.
Earlier, senior Iranian officials responded to the Israeli strike that killed the top IRGC commander in Syria by saying their country already had every right to respond to Israel's attack on their consulate.
