An Israeli military source stated on Wednesday that Israel will not launch an attack on Iran before the upcoming elections, despite heightened alert levels. The increased readiness is a precaution against potential Iranian interference in the electoral process or attacks by Tehran or its allies. Israel has reportedly sent warning messages indicating that any "mistake" by Iran could result in an unprecedented Israeli response, with escalation possibilities still present.
The decision to attack Iran is reportedly linked to the stance of U.S. President Donald Trump, with the source suggesting Israel cannot proceed without his approval. Trump has not yet finalized his position on the matter. Israeli assessments indicate that repeating previous military approaches will not yield different results without American ground action. The source cautioned that any escalation before the U.S. elections could carry a significant political cost for Trump.
Concerns about miscalculation between the two nations were also highlighted. There is a fear that Iran might perceive Israel as preparing for an attack, prompting a preemptive move by Tehran and increasing the likelihood of a confrontation. These statements reflect the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, alongside anticipation regarding the U.S. position and its influence on Israeli military decisions.
