美国认为伊朗可能报复以色列据两名知情人士透露，未来几天内。
伊朗可能使用无人机和导弹袭击以色列“地区资产”的情报已经与美国国会议员分享。
美国官员认为，这些袭击是为了报复以色列上周在叙利亚大马士革的空袭。在那次空袭中，伊朗革命卫队的一名高级指挥官和其他六名人员丧生。官员们认为，如果伊朗实施报复，袭击有可能扩大加沙战争的范围。
拜登在周三的新闻发布会上说:“他们威胁要对以色列发动重大袭击。
“正如我对【本雅明】内塔尼亚胡总理所说的那样，我们对以色列安全的承诺是坚定不移的，不会受到来自伊朗及其代理人的威胁。我再说一遍，铁证如山。我们将竭尽全力保护以色列的安全，”他补充说。
上周，伊朗外交部长侯赛因·阿米尔-阿卜杜拉希扬表示，以色列“将受到惩罚，美国应对伊朗大使馆遇袭事件负责，必须被追究责任。”
“反响将是毁灭性的，”他补充道。
以色列外交部长伊斯雷尔·卡茨周三在社交媒体网站x上向伊朗发出警告。
卡茨写道:“如果伊朗从其领土发动袭击，以色列将做出回应并在伊朗发动袭击。
以色列国防部长约夫·加兰特周三也发表了类似言论。
格兰特在参观以色列北部的一个铁穹炮台时表示:“无论是在中东的哪个地方，只要有人袭击以色列，我们都会迅速做出必要的反应。”。
据一名美国官员称，据信伊朗可能会选择对以色列外交设施进行相应的报复，比如周一在伊朗首都德黑兰遭到袭击的伊朗外交馆叙利亚。该官员说，或者伊朗有可能直接打击以色列。
另一位知情人士证实，官员们认为以色列的“地区资产”面临重大风险。
美国资产面临的威胁不太明朗。官员们长期以来一直担心伊朗支持的民兵组织可能会恢复针对美国军队的袭击伊拉克还有叙利亚。
这些袭击于2月4日停止，此前美国对三名服役人员的死亡进行了报复空袭。
不过，尽管美国官员表示，他们没有看到该地区的军队面临任何具体威胁，但人们仍然担心伊朗的袭击可能会进一步破坏该地区的稳定。
US believes Iran could attack Israel in coming days, with potential to escalate war in the region
The United States believesIranmay retaliate againstIsraelin coming days, according to two sources familiar with intelligence on the matter.
The intelligence that Iran could use drones and missiles to attack "regional assets" by Israel has been shared with U.S. lawmakers.
U.S. officials believe the attacks would be done in retaliation for Israel's airstrike in Damascus, Syria, last week, which killed a top commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps along with six other personnel. If Iran's retaliatory happens, officials believe the attacks have the potential to widen the scope of the war in Gaza.
"They're threatening to launch a significant attack on Israel," Biden said at a news conference Wednesday.
"As I told Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel's security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad. Let me say it again, ironclad. We're going to do all we can to protect Israel's security," he added.
Last week, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said Israel "will be punished and that America is responsible for the regime's attack on the Iranian embassy and must be held accountable."
"The response will be crushing," he added.
Israel's foreign minister, Israel Katz, posted a warning Wednesday to Iran on the social media site X.
"If Iran attacks from its territory, Israel will respond and attack in Iran," Katz wrote.
Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant made similar remarks Wednesday.
"We will know to respond very quickly in a necessary offensive in the territory of whoever attacks Israel, no matter where -- anywhere in the Middle East," Gallant said while visiting an Iron Dome battery in Israel's north.
According to one U.S. official, it's believed that Iran could choose to retaliate in a proportional response targeting an Israeli diplomatic facility like the Iranian diplomatic location that was struck on Monday inSyria. Or, the official said, it's possible that Iran could strike directly at Israel.
A second person familiar with the intelligence confirmed that officials believed Israel's "regional assets" were at significant risk.
Threats to U.S. assets is less clear. Officials have long been concerned that Iranian-backed militias might resume targeting U.S. forces inIraqand Syria.
Those attacks stopped Feb. 4 following U.S. airstrikes in retaliation for the death of three service members.
But while U.S. officials say they do not see any specific threats to troops in the region, the concern remains that an Iranian attack could further destabilize the region.
