The officials also affirmed that it was as of yet unclear when or in what manner the attack will take place. 

Israel is likely expected to strike Iranian military and energy assets in its response to the Islamic Republic's October 1 attack, according to NBC on Saturday, citing US officials.

While the officials noted that Israel had "narrowed down" the objectives of its possible strike, they also affirmed that it is currently unclear when or in what manner the attack will take place. 

Indeed, the US sources said Israel had not notified them of its timeline. 

According to the report, the officials also claimed Israel was not set to target nuclear infrastructure or conduct targeted assassinations.
