U.S. President Donald Trump's openness to striking Iran adds to the volatile situation, with potential for miscalculation leading to war. Israeli defense officials are monitoring developments and preparing for rapid engagement if necessary, but are weighing the significant risks and lack of clear strategic objectives for a preemptive strike.
