JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Iran is making defensive preparations for what it fears
will be a U.S. military attack this summer, Israel's military intelligence chief
said on Sunday.

Major-General Amos Yadlin also told the Israeli cabinet that Lebanon's Hezbollah
guerrillas and Syria believed they could be targeted in any U.S.-initiated war
against Iran, an Israeli government official said, briefing reporters on his
remarks.

"What we are seeing is their preparation for the possibility of war in the summer.
My assessment is that they are defensive preparations for war," Yadlin was
quoted as saying, referring to Iran, Syria and Hezbollah.

The government official said Yadlin spoke about Iranian fears of a U.S., not an
Israeli, offensive.
