01:07 Iran has threatened reprisals against Israel over a strike in the Iranian consulate in
01:12 Syria on April 1 that killed seven Revolutionary Guards, including two generals, sparking fears
01:20 of an escalation of violence in the Middle East.
01:23 Earlier today, the French Foreign Ministry also advised its citizens against traveling
01:29 to Iran, Lebanon, Israel, and the Palestinian territories.
01:34 In a statement on social media platform X, the French Foreign Ministry added that relatives
01:39 of Iran-based diplomats will return to France and that French civil servants are now banned
01:45 from conducting any missions in Iran, Lebanon, Israel, and the Palestinian territories.
01:51 Israel is on high alert for a potential direct attack from Iran, which could occur in the
01:57 southern or northern regions within the next 24 to 48 hours, as per a Wall Street Journal
02:03 report.
02:04 Although an individual briefed by Iranian leadership mentioned that attack plans are
02:10 under discussion, a final decision has not been made yet.
02:15 The heightened tensions come after Tehran accused Israel of an airstrike on a diplomatic
02:21 building in Damascus, Syria, which resulted in the death of top Iranian military officials,
02:27 including a senior member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force.
02:33 U.S. intelligence earlier indicated that an attack on Israeli assets by Iran or its proxies
02:39 was likely imminent.
02:41 However, it now seems that attack might take place within Israel's borders.
02:47 American intelligence reports suggest an Iranian retaliatory strike could happen within days,
02:53 potentially on Israeli soil, the WSG report said.
