In this context, an Egyptian official was quoted as saying that Iran had privately warned of a "powerful and comprehensive" response.
At the same time, the publication also quoted an Iranian official as saying that the Iranian military had suffered casualties, so the Israelis "must respond." He also noted that Iran could use Iraqi territory for an operation and would likely strike at Israeli military targets, "but much more aggressively than last time.
It remains to be seen whether Iran's threats are real or just a manifestation of harsh rhetoric. The Iranian regime has told Arab diplomats that this time it will use its regular army, but this does not mean deploying troops, the newspaper writes. This only indicates that the operation may involve not only the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as usual, but also regular troops.
Meanwhile, Israel is ready to respond decisively to another potential Iranian strike How Israel will act will depend on the scale, nature, and effectiveness of Tehran's attack.
