Israel's defense establishment is preparing for the possibility of rocket or missile launches from Iran toward Israel, in response to a US strike, according to Israeli media reports. The assessment comes as reports also indicate an ongoing attack on the IRGC's naval base at Kongan.
The Israeli defense establishment is on heightened alert for a potential Iranian retaliatory strike targeting Israel, following a US attack on Iranian military positions. Reports from Israeli media cited by multiple Telegram channels indicate the military is actively preparing for launches from Iran. This comes as separate, unverified reports describe an ongoing aerial attack on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base at Kongan (also reported as Kangān). The Zioneer previously reported on June 9 that strikes had targeted radar and air defense systems at an IRGC naval base—the same base or a closely related one—and that the US had updated Israel before an anticipated Iranian attack, with assessments at the time predicting Iran would strike Gulf states rather than Israel. This new report, citing the Israeli security establishment's own preparations, signals a shift in the expected threat profile. The situation remains fast-moving and unconfirmed on multiple points: the precise scale and nature of the US strike, whether Iran has decided on retaliation, and the link between the Kongan attack and the Israeli assessment.
