Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, revealed during an appearance on the TV network Merit Street, that Israel is preparing significant military actions against Iran.
According to him, the attack will come to Iran as a “surprise” and it will make the Mossad’s 2024 Hezbollah pager operation in Lebanon and Syria appear “simple.”

The cryptic statement, which Leiter later clarified on X, has increased tensions as the Israel-Iran conflict enters its fifth day, marked by intense airstrikes and missile exchanges.
Leiter’s remarks follow Israel’s ongoing campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities and military infrastructure, with Iran retaliating through missile strikes on Israeli civilian areas.
“We’ve pulled off a number of surprises. When the dust settles, you’re going to see some surprises on Thursday night and Friday that will make the beeper operation almost seem simple.”
