An Israeli military source revealed on Wednesday that Tel Aviv will not launch an attack on Iran before the upcoming elections. However, Israel is increasing its alert level in anticipation of potential Iranian or proxy interference in the elections and subsequent attacks. Israel has conveyed messages indicating that any "mistake" by Iran would result in an unprecedented offensive. An Israeli source stated that, as in the past, any decision hinges on the wishes of U.S. President Donald Trump, and Israel cannot attack Iran without his approval. Trump has not yet made a final decision on the matter. The source added that without American ground action, there is no prospect for a significant change, and repeating the same approach before the U.S. elections would be a political disaster for Trump. There is also a possibility of miscalculation, with the Iranians potentially believing Israel is about to attack and attempting a preemptive strike.
