New satellite images of an apparent cargo transfer from Tehran to Syria containing a variety of missiles last month suggest Iran may, in fact, be planning a "revenge attack," as estimated by Israeli and US intelligence.
The images dated November 21, 2019, provided by "Intelli Times" and "Satellite Pleiades from Airbus Defense & Space", show a large cargo trailer on the runway of the Iran-operated T4 military base located in the Homs District in central Syria.

The images were taken after a plane left the Iranian capital in the early morning hours and landed at the base, unloading three containers onto semitrailer trucks generally used by the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria to move and deploy air, ground, and cruise missiles.
Over the last two weeks, Iran has been moving around heavy cargo to the T4 base, as part of its preparation for an attack the likes seen back in September on the Saudi oil fields.
The cargo deployment came one day after the Israeli Air Force conducted strikes on several Iranian targets that reportedly killed some 23 people, the majority of them Iranian.
Israel reportedly refrained from targeting the T4 base due to its division into three areas controlled by the Russian, Iranian and Syrian army – raising challenges that would require precise coordination with Moscow, on top of the base's more formidable security arsenal that includes S-300 anti-aircraft missiles.
