Israel has significantly raised its alert level in anticipation of a potential Iranian attack, with the military preparing for a swift return to combat operations. This heightened readiness comes amid increasing reports of security and political discussions between Jerusalem and Washington.
Military correspondent Yossi Yehoshua reported that while the IDF is on high alert, Prime Minister Netanyahu is not currently seeking an offensive against Iran before the upcoming elections. Yehoshua emphasized that any potential renewed hostilities would be conducted in full coordination with the U.S. administration.
Security officials are primarily concerned about preventing a "miscalculation", a mistaken assessment of the situation that could lead to an unintended escalation. Both Israel and Iran have raised their forces' alert levels, with each side fearing a surprise move from the other. This creates a volatile situation where a single incident could ignite the entire region, even without either side intending to initiate a full-scale conflict.
