High-ranking sources within the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) believe there is no reason to launch an attack on Iran before the upcoming elections, unless signs emerge of preparations for missile launches, according to Channel 12. These sources indicated that U.S. President Donald Trump did not obstruct a potential Israeli strike, as the possibility of such an action was not discussed. The sources also stated that increased combat readiness and preparedness by the Israeli military, in coordination with the American side, were routine measures. Flights by Israeli aircraft towards Iran are described as common and part of regular operations, not unusual. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously stated his objective for the IDF, Mossad, and other security agencies to achieve a change of power in Iran. However, representatives from the Israeli military and intelligence services acknowledge limitations in military capabilities and suggest that heightened tensions might be linked to political interests related to the elections. Military leadership had previously urged politicians against rushing into an operation against Iran, with sources indicating that despite approved preparation schedules, actual combat operations are still distant. Earlier reports, citing American sources, mentioned dozens of IDF military aircraft flying towards the Iranian border. While Israeli and American officials described these flights as routine deterrence measures against Tehran, Iran might have perceived them as preparations for an attack.
