WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States assesses that Iran could carry out retaliatory attacks targeting American forces in the Middle East soon, although the U.S. is still seeking a diplomatic resolution that would see Tehran forgo any attack, two U.S. officials said on Monday.
One of the officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said Iran’s retaliatory attack could happen within the next day or two.
Iran has threatened to retaliate after U.S. bombed its nuclear sites over the weekend.
