Israel and Western nations are observing what they describe as "extreme" military activities within Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday regarding the escalating situation. Israeli security officials believe that any potential strike against Iran must target its infrastructure, energy facilities, missile sites, and nuclear program.
Discussions between Israeli and American officials are frequent, with Israeli assessments suggesting that Iran's current pressures could lead it to undertake further extreme actions. Security sources warned that "the boss in Iran is going crazy and there isn't much time," indicating that military action is a very realistic scenario if Iran does not reconsider its course.
However, sources in both Israel and the U.S. do not believe the recent developments necessitate immediate action. The timing of these developments is sensitive, occurring just 12 days before Israeli elections and 19 days before the U.S. midterm elections.
Meanwhile, U.S. military sources told CNN that new attack plans have been developed, potentially including the use of the "mother of all bombs" (MOAB) against Iranian energy and nuclear sites. These plans were prepared in case President Donald Trump orders renewed military operations either before or after the U.S. midterm elections. The deployment of the GBU-43/B MOAB, the largest non-nuclear weapon in the U.S. arsenal, would signify a substantial escalation of the conflict.
