The IDF is waiting for Trump, the decision is his.”Iranian military Chief of Staff Ali Abdollahi also threatened the United States and Israel, saying Tehran had “updated the target bank. If we see signs of any hostile action, we will not wait. We will respond immediately and without any geographical limitations.”The post US receives intelligence Iran is planning to target Trump appeared first on World Israel News.
