The CIA has warned Israel that Iran will attack the country in the next 48 hours, it has been reported.
Israel killed two Iranian military commanders with a strike on Tehran's consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus this week.
Iran vowed that it would take revenge for the attack, and now foreign media is reporting that US intelligence is fearful of an attack on Israel.
Tehran is said to be planning a combined attack with a "rain" of drones and missiles fired from its bases at strategic locations inside Israel, according to Al Mayadeen.
This comes after US officials raised fears that the Israeli strike could lead to a wider war in the Middle East.

Consider your position on the use of military strikes as a form of retaliation; do they resolve conflicts or exacerbate tensions?
@9LC9RLN3mos3MO
I believe, as history shows, that in most cases indiscriminately bombing countries in retaliation seems to exacerbate tensions in that region and can increase the likelihood of extremism.
