Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met secretly with U.S. Secretary of War the U.S. Secretary of War in Israel on Tuesday, with the Iranian issue and the possibility of an Iranian attack being the central topics of discussion. The meeting, held at the Ovda Air Force base, was kept highly confidential, with even senior Israeli military officials, including Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, not invited. Israeli aides and advisors were also barred from attending due to the sensitive nature of the discussions. The U.S. Secretary of War arrived discreetly on a cargo plane to avoid suspicion, and the meeting concluded around 9 PM. No other countries besides Israel and the U.S. were represented.
A senior security official told Kan News that while a renewal of operations against Iran might be unavoidable in the future, it is unlikely to occur before the upcoming Israeli elections and the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. Israel is preparing for various scenarios, including a potential Iranian attack launched out of pressure. Recent foreign reports indicate Israeli fighter jets have been conducting drills in Iraqi airspace near the Iranian border, signaling Israel's high alert status and a message to Iran not to attack.
Concurrently, there are indications of progress in efforts to reach understandings between Iran and the United States. The U.S. Secretary of War's visit to Israel followed his stop at U.S. Central Command. Fox News reported that U.S. Central Command will be reinforcing its forces in the region through the end of November. The meeting with Netanyahu was reportedly arranged on short notice as the U.S. Secretary of War was already in Israel visiting U.S. troops at Ovda base.
