Iran has prepared 'hundreds of missiles' to fire if Israel, US attack: Report

Iran’s military has prepared hundreds of additional missiles to launch from its western borders if Israel or the US attack Iran, two members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps told The New York Times.

Senior commanders in the IRGC convinced Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to approve Tuesday's attack on Israel in order to restore deterrence, the NYT reported.

During the deliberations, Iran’s new president, Massoud Pezeshkian, urged caution, but was overruled by the IRGC, the NYT reported, citing Iranian officials.
