Tonight, the State Department issuing new travel restrictions for U.S.
government employees and their families in Israel.
This warning comes amid growing concern that Iran could retaliate
for Israel's attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria.
ABC's chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce joins us now,
and Mary sources say an Iranian strike could come any
day now.
Whit tonight the Bind administration is bracing for Iran to
strike Israel.
Possibly. I'm told in the coming days,
the president has warned that Tehran is threatening a significant
attack,
and we have learned that tonight the top US military.
Under in the Middle East is now in Israel to
discuss this threat.
The State Department is also putting new travel restrictions on
US personnel in Israel.
Iran has vowed to retaliate for the attack on its
consulate in Syria last week that killed several Iranian commanders.
This is exactly the kind of escalation the President Biden
has now tried for months to avoid.
The big question now How would the US respond to
an attack by Iran?
I have pressed the White House on this and wit
for now,
they're being tight lipped. All right,
Mary. Bruce, we'll stand by for news on that.
Thank you.
