Western sources have identified "extreme steps" and new military maneuvers by Iran, which are likely linked to the country's economic distress, according to a Channel 12 report. This comes amid heightened tensions and concerns of a surprise attack.
Israel is engaged in frequent discussions with the United States regarding the situation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shared Israel's understanding of events in Iran under Mojtaba Khamenei's leadership with U.S. President Donald Trump. Israeli assessments suggest that any potential strike plan would need to target infrastructure, energy, missile projects, and nuclear facilities. However, it is understood that Trump has not yet decided whether or when to launch an attack.
Security officials in both Israel and the U.S. do not believe the developments in Iran necessitate immediate, urgent action. This assessment arrives at a sensitive time, with Israeli elections less than two weeks away and U.S. midterm elections three weeks out.
Meanwhile, Kan 11 reported that Israel has raised its alert level in recent days due to the possibility of escalation. While there is currently no specific intelligence indicating an intention by Iran or Hezbollah to attack Israel, the IDF is closely monitoring the situation, describing it as a "sensitive period." Iran reportedly began ballistic missile and drone tests last week, which Israel is observing. A security official stated, "We are acting to ensure we are not surprised."
