Officials base themselves on Israel and US intelligence 

According to the report, basing themselves on Israeli and US intelligence, the officials discussed the probability that highly precise missiles might be used in the attack to target Israeli military and governmental locations.

The report comes amid heightened tensions in Israel as Iran has vowed to avenge the killing of senior IRGC commander Mohammad Reza Zahedi in an alleged Israeli attack in early April.
