Iran is preparing to unleash a salvo of ballistic missiles against Israel, a senior official from the White House said on Tuesday.

The US – which is an ally of Israel and has committed to a $8.7 billion military aid package – is actively supporting plans to defend it against threats from Iran.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, warned the Islamic Republic of ‘severe consequences’ if an attack takes place.
