Pentagon preparing for potential Iran-led attack after Israel kills Hezbollah leader: Report

Fear of an attack from Iran is rising among Biden administration officials after Israel’s killing of Hezbollah militant leader Hassan Nasrallah, said a top U.S official on Sunday.

According to a CNN report, "joint defenses are being prepared to ward off an attack with changes in U.S. military posture."

The U.S. official did not elaborate on the type of attack the U.S. is preparing for with Israel.

Israel has stepped up its strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon as the Iran-backed terrorist group continues to fire rockets at Israel.

“Should Iran, its partners, or its proxies use this moment to target American personnel or interests in the region, the United States will take every necessary measure to defend our people,” the Pentagon said in a statement on Sunday night.
