The attack may target military sites inside the country with over 100 drones and dozens of missiles, the report said.
The officials expressed concern over Israel's ability to defend against the attack of this scale. While acknowledging the potential for Iran to opt for a smaller-scale assault to prevent a drastic escalation, they anticipated an imminent retaliation.
Tehran has not publicly indicated the method or timing of its retaliation, leaving uncertainty about the extent of Iran's potential actions. Should they choose a direct assault on Israel, there are concerns it could escalate the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip into a broader regional confrontation, the report added.
