IDF Braces for Extreme Iranian Retaliation Against U.S. Strike
The IDF and Home Front Command are preparing for a "Day of Judgment" scenario involving direct Iranian ballistic missile strikes and a multi-front assault by regional militias following a potential U.S. attack on Tehran.
The Israeli security establishment has shifted into high gear, accelerating preparations for a regional "extreme scenario" as intelligence reports suggest the nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran are on the verge of a total collapse.
At the heart of the current planning is the assessment that if diplomatic efforts in Geneva fail, President Donald Trump may order a preemptive U.S. strike on Iranian soil. Security officials believe such an event would trigger an immediate and massive Iranian response, not just against American assets, but directed specifically at the State of Israel.
The anticipated threat includes:
While a second round of talks is scheduled for Tuesday in Geneva, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent meeting with President Trump in Washington focused on these "red lines." Israel is reportedly coordinating closely with U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to synchronize defense layers ahead of what many fear is an inevitable escalation.
As the diplomats in Geneva run out of ink, the generals in Tel Aviv are running out of time. Israel is no longer asking if the fire will come, but whether the shield is strong enough to withstand the heat of a direct Iranian collision.
