U.S. restricts employees' travel as Iran vows revenge on Israel

There is consensus among various sources that there are heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, with expectations of an imminent attack by Iran or its proxies against Israel. Joe Biden has expressed his expectation of an attack sooner rather than later without revealing secure information. Israeli forces are on high alert and have increased security measures in anticipation. The United States is also taking precautions by dispatching warships and aircraft to the region. There are concerns that multiple targets inside Israel could be struck, but a full-blown war involving the US is not desired by either party. Iran has reportedly prepared its own list of Israeli officials and diplomats for retaliation following the killing of a top Iranian general and six other military officers in April.
