- Israeli security officials worry about miscalculation and escalation from Iran.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered the Mossad and IDF to work on overthrowing Iran's regime.

Iranian officials believe a confrontation with Israel and the United States is inevitable, with Israel expected to launch the first strike, according to a report by Nir Dvori and Ohad Hamo on Channel 12. These assessments suggest an attack could occur in the coming days, potentially before Tuesday's elections. While Iran acknowledges threats from Israel and the US, they are reportedly discussing possible responses, though these evaluations are attributed to Iranian sources without independent verification.
Israeli security officials are reportedly concerned about miscalculation, fearing that Iranian interpretations of Israeli statements could lead to escalation. Security figures emphasize the danger of politicizing the current sensitive security tensions, calling for significant responsibility from all speakers. The IDF is on high alert ahead of the elections, with Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir stressing the importance of security stability in a recent discussion, stating, "It is important to maintain stability."
Currently, only drills and exercises are being conducted, as there have been no Iranian actions warranting a direct response. However, the US and Israeli militaries are continuously training and have prepared joint operational plans. Israel views the US economic pressure and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as the preferred course of action at this time, leading the security establishment to be cautious about exacerbating escalation from both domestic and foreign fronts.
Iran is reportedly making efforts to prevent a planned attack, with images showing production lines for suicide drones. Iranian media outlets are projecting a scenario where an Israeli attack would pave the way for the US Air Force to intensify operations and potentially seize an island. According to Iranian sources, they would respond by targeting a broader range of objectives, including artificial intelligence centers. These reports indicate a conviction in Iran that Israel might initiate an attack "for a third time."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in an interview with 'Channel 7' that he had instructed the Mossad and the IDF to bring down the Iranian regime, declaring, "I have instructed that the only solution that is considered here is, of course, the overthrow of this fanatical regime."
