Senior officials in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told military correspondent Yossi Yehoshua on Thursday evening that former President Trump did not prevent an attack on Iran because such an operation was not on the agenda. They noted that there was an increase in readiness and system preparedness in accordance with American alertness.

According to the officials, there is no justification for attacking Iran before the upcoming elections unless there is an indication that Iran is preparing to attack Israel. "Everything else can wait," they stated, implying that any action against Iran could be postponed until after the electoral period, provided no immediate threat emerges.
