Israeli forces are preparing for a potential escalation with Iran in the coming weeks, according to Israeli sources. Israel believes a new confrontation could occur soon, especially after the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq, which may allow Iran to strengthen its presence. Concerns are particularly focused on Iran's nuclear activities near Natanz and its efforts to build a land corridor for weapons transfer.

Israel Prepares for Potential Escalation with Iran in Coming Weeks

Israeli defense forces are preparing for a potential resumption of hostilities with Iran in the coming weeks, according to Israeli sources cited by Channel 12. Despite statements from U.S. President Donald Trump, Israeli authorities believe a new escalation could occur soon. Following the U.S. decision to withdraw troops from Iraq, Israel is reportedly set to increase strikes against pro-Iranian armed groups within the country. Washington has allegedly granted Israel permission to use Iraqi and Jordanian airspace, which could facilitate attacks on Tehran's allies. Israeli officials are concerned that the U.S. military withdrawal will create a security vacuum, allowing Iran to more actively utilize a land corridor through Iraq and Syria to transfer forces and weapons to Lebanon. Israel has previously considered a new confrontation with Iran due to Tehran's activities at an underground facility near Natanz. An Israeli source familiar with the situation indicated that renewed strikes might become unavoidable if Iran continues to develop and fortify its nuclear program facilities. Israel claims Iran has accelerated work at the Natanz site, aiming to enhance the protection of its nuclear infrastructure against potential future strikes. Seven months into the ongoing conflict, Iran remains a significant strategic challenge for Israel. Despite damage to its military capabilities and ongoing economic and military pressures, Tehran continues to prepare for a possible new confrontation. Concurrently, Iran is engaged in diplomatic dialogue with the U.S., seeking a broader agreement.
