The Trump administration is preparing for possible retaliatory measures by Iran. According to NBC News’ sources in the Pentagon and the White House, the next 48 hours are of particular concern.
Interlocutors indicate that whether Iran's response to the attack on its nuclear facilities will be directed at US targets domestically or abroad, or both, remains unknown at this time.
US military bases abroad have been in a high state of combat readiness for several months, but according to a source in the White House, concerns about a potential attack have significantly increased since Israel began a war with Iran on June 13.
The attack on Iran's nuclear facilities was carried out overnight on June 22. According to Western media, the US Air Force used the B-2A Spirit bomber in the strike. President Donald Trump announced the destruction of Iran's key nuclear facilities.
Following the US attacks on its nuclear facilities in the country, Iran called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. In turn, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern about the US actions against Iran.
