In the next 48 hours: The US is preparing for a possible retaliatory strike from Iran.

The Donald Trump administration is bracing for a potential response from Iran in the next 48 hours.

NBC News reports this, citing two sources in the Pentagon and a high-ranking White House official.

In particular, the journalists’ sources noted that it is currently unknown whether Iran’s response will be directed at targets abroad, or on US territory, or both.

While US military bases overseas have been on high alert for months, White House sources say concerns about possible attacks have grown significantly since Israel launched a war with Iran on June 13.

Let us recall that the United States Air Force attacked Iran’s nuclear infrastructure , including its most secure facility in Fordow.

As is known, on June 13, Israel launched a large-scale air strike on Iranian territory . The targets were objects related to the Iranian nuclear program.

More than 70 people, including at least 20 high-ranking military officials, were killed in an air strike on Tehran.

By the way, Iran called negotiations with the US “pointless” after Israel’s missile strikes on its nuclear facilities.
