Israel and the U.S. are convinced Iran is preparing to retaliate for the Israeli strike on an Iranian consulate in Syria, U.S. officials say.
Israel on Monday struck an Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, and killed a "handful" of leaders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to the Pentagon.
The Iranians are now planning a retaliatory attack with a swarm of Shaheed loitering drones and cruise missiles, the officials believe. The timing and target are unknown, but a proportional response to the Damascus attack would be to hit an Israeli diplomatic facility.
A new law aims to strengthen reporting requirements for technology companies to combat online predators seeking to exploit children.
