Iran's Foreign Ministry stated that the results of the upcoming Israeli elections will not affect the regional situation. Tehran emphasized that it does not consider who leads the Israeli government after the vote to be significant. Official representative Esmail Baghaei conveyed this message during a weekly press briefing held prior to the Knesset elections, according to AFP. Baghaei asserted that Iran is indifferent to the election victor, even if it is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We are completely indifferent to who leads the regime in these elections, a regime that has brought only violence and mass killings to our region," Baghaei stated.
Separately, the article reports that the United States has prepared for a potential attack on Iran within 96 hours of an order from President Donald Trump. U.S. military personnel have completed preparations for a large-scale operation, which could commence within four days of Trump's directive, though a final decision has not been made. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been pressuring the U.S. administration to strike Iranian targets and had previously sought Trump's approval for a joint military operation before the U.S. midterm elections, but the president has not yet agreed.
One factor contributing to the delay was a warning from Israel Defense Forces Chief of General Staff Eyal Zamir to U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kaine. Zamir highlighted the potential negative consequences of increased security measures on Israel's election campaign, suggesting it could even lead to a postponement of the elections.
