The United States believes that Tehran is likely to attack Israel in the early morning of April 14 in order to retaliate against the strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, a US official told the Al Jazeera television channel, Paralel.Az reports.

"We are deeply concerned about the prospect of a large-scale attack on Israel," he said. "It is highly likely that Iran will begin an attack on Israel in the early hours of tomorrow morning, on Sunday morning."
