Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in an unusual message:
"Citizens of Israel, we are in the midst of a campaign against Iran's axis of evil.
What I ask of you is two things:
One - to strictly obey the directives of the frontline command, it saves lives.
And second - to stand together. We will stand firm together in the testing days ahead. Together we will stand, together we will fight and together we will win.

The US is desperately trying to convince Iran not to strike, or to at least keep it limited. They're worried that the Israeli response won't be restrained; this is exactly what Netanyahu has been looking for.
At the same time, Putin wants to urgently speak to Netanyahu later today. He will probably try to convince Israel not to respond. If Israel responds, Iran will too, and things will escalate.
The US is REALLY not happy right now. They don't want an Iranian-Israeli conflict, even if limited, especially not before the elections.

l
A western source with knowledge claims that unlike the April attack, this time Iran is expected to attack Israel only with ballistic missiles that reach Israel within 12 minutes and not with drones or cruise missiles that allow for much longer preparation time for defense and interception - Axios
This may severely diminish the US-led coalitions ability to help Israel as most of their help in April was to shoot down drones and cruise missiles using jets.
Only a few ballistic missiles were shot down by US Patriot battery in Iraq and Aegis-equipped ships in the Mediterranean, with Israel’s Arrow-2/3 air defences handing the vast majority.
Heavy stress may be placed on Israel’s Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 air defences as a result. - Elint on X
