  • Prime Minister Netanyahu proposed an additional strike in Iran without informing Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir.
  • Mossad Chief Ronen Hoffman supported Netanyahu's plan for a swift operation against Iran.
  • Security officials say any significant action requires U.S. coordination and President Trump's approval.
  • Concerns persist over Iran's nuclear progress and potential destabilization of the regime.
  • Israel and the U.S. are exploring ways to weaken the Iranian regime.
  • Disagreements exist within Israel's security establishment regarding the timing and scope of actions against Iran.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to advance another strike in Iran, but Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir was not informed in advance of the move. While Zamir opposed the plan, Mossad Chief Ronen Hoffman supported it. According to a report in "HaYom," Netanyahu aimed to advance a swift operation against Iran, though it was not a plan for a broad offensive. Security officials estimate that any significant further action would require full coordination with the United States and a decision from President Donald Trump.

Israel believes the confrontation with Iran is not over and another attack could occur depending on developments on the ground. The primary concern is Iran's continued nuclear advancement and the possibility of reaching a point of no return. However, at this stage, Trump prefers to wait until after the midterm congressional elections. Diplomatic sources believe the White House fears another attack could lead to rising oil prices and harm the Republican Party in the elections.

Concurrently, Israel and the US are exploring ways to weaken the Iranian regime. Assessments suggest that targeting the leadership, alongside the economic crisis and ongoing military activity, could destabilize the government. Security officials agree on the need to continue acting against the Iranian threat but differ on the timing, scope, and methods to achieve regime change.
