Israel is preparing for the possibility that U.S. President Donald Trump could order a renewed campaign against Iran before Israeli elections, according to a Kan News report. This comes amid ongoing Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and intelligence indicating Iran has accelerated its ballistic missile and drone production lines in recent weeks. One scenario Israel is preparing for is the Trump administration giving Israel the "green light" for an independent strike on Iran, a development that could impact the timing of Israeli elections. However, an Israeli official stated that the likelihood of Israel attacking Iran before the elections is low.
As part of its strategic dialogue with regional allies, Israel is engaged in close discussions with the U.S. military and with countries in the region that have been targeted by Iran, including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. It was previously reported that Trump is considering asking the Pentagon to develop new attack plans against Iran, to be executed before the U.S. midterm elections next month. Reports suggest the U.S. president aims to lower fuel prices and demonstrate progress in conflicts before American voters head to the polls. Discussions are ongoing within the White House regarding the scope and execution of potential strikes.
