Israel is intensifying consultations with the United States in response to observed Iranian military activity that is causing concern. Western sources have recently noted Iranian actions that have raised alarms in Israel and other nations, according to Globes. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Israeli leadership continues security discussions with the American side regarding potential developments.
Channel 12 reports that Israeli officials believe the current situation could prompt Iran to take further drastic steps. Consequently, Israel is evaluating potential scenarios and the consequences of escalation. If a military operation is prepared, its targets could include key Iranian infrastructure, such as military sites, the energy sector, missile systems, and the nuclear program, according to media reports.
The publication emphasizes that a decision to strike has not been made, and these assessments are part of evaluating possible scenarios amid rising tensions. The political calendar adds complexity, with Israeli elections 12 days away and US midterm elections in 19 days, factors that could influence calculations and actions by all parties. Previously, Trump had indicated a potential strike on Iran, ruling out nuclear weapons but not a powerful conventional bomb.
