Israel Has Determined Targets for Retaliatory Strikes Against Iran

American officials believe that Israel has "narrowed down the targets for retaliatory strikes against Iran's attack." This was reported by NBC News. According to their information, "the focus is on Iran's military and energy infrastructure." Moreover, as noted by the TV channel, there are no indications that Israel is "planning to strike nuclear facilities."

"The U.S. has no information that the response will be today. It is unclear whether they have determined the timelines themselves or not," the media quotes the words of its sources.

According to BBC News, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had a phone conversation with his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant, during which they discussed the general "framework of the Israeli response." However, it is unclear whether Gallant provided any specific details, NBC emphasizes.

On October 9, Gallant stated that Israel does not abandon its plans to strike Iran in response to its missile attacks, and that the response will be "lethal and unexpected" enough that the Iranians will not be able to understand anything.
