Israel is preparing for the possibility of further conflict with Iran, with heightened military drills observed in recent weeks. Security officials are closely monitoring developments in Tehran and evaluating various scenarios, including a potential strike after the upcoming elections, contingent on their outcome and in coordination with the United States. Such an attack would aim to disrupt Iran's nuclear program and its ballistic missile industries, which pose a threat to Israeli civilians.
A security official speaking to "Walla" warned of an increasing likelihood of confrontation, stating, "As time passes, we see that we will have to go through a confrontation with Iran. Everything can change, but between a reality where we go for an agreement with Iran or attack? The chance of war is growing." The official highlighted two key questions: what Iran will do in the interim and its acceleration of nuclear processes. Israel, in coordination with the U.S. and regional allies, is prepared for all scenarios.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are holding regular situation assessments and coordinating their readiness with the U.S. CENTCOM. "The coordination and updates are daily," the security official emphasized. Israel's concerns also extend to Iran's proxies, particularly Hezbollah. Warnings have been issued to the Lebanese government, demanding they restrain the organization, with Israel conveying a clear message: "The Israeli response will be severe."
