Western sources have identified "extreme steps" and new military maneuvers by Iran, possibly linked to the country's economic distress, according to a Channel 12 report. This comes amid heightened regional tensions and concerns of a surprise attack.
Israel is reportedly engaged in frequent discussions with the United States regarding the situation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shared intelligence with U.S. President Donald Trump concerning developments in Iran under the leadership of Mojtaba Khamenei. Israeli assessments suggest that any potential strike plan must target infrastructure, energy, missile projects, and nuclear facilities. However, it is understood that Trump has not yet decided on the timing or execution of an attack.
Security officials in both Israel and the U.S. do not believe the current 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.
Separately, Kan 11 reported that Israel has raised its alert level recently due to the possibility of escalation. While there is currently no concrete information about 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 working to ensure we are not surprised."
