Israel's security establishment is taking measures in anticipation of a potential new phase of conflict with Iran, according to the Ynet news portal. Israeli forces are closely monitoring the buildup of U.S. military assets near Iran's coast, while awaiting a decision from U.S. President Donald Trump, who is reportedly seeking to revive negotiations with Tehran.
Israeli security agencies are considering the possibility of a new military confrontation and are preparing for such an eventuality, though they acknowledge the situation remains uncertain. A significant increase in U.S. naval forces in the Arabian Sea, with 12 destroyers currently present, more than during a previous conflict, is seen as a possible signal of U.S. preparation for operations. These ships could be involved in a naval blockade or support a military scenario. Two U.S. aircraft carriers are already in the region, with a third potentially being redeployed from operations near Japan to bolster the force or replace an existing carrier.
The key question remains the objectives of any new military campaign, should the U.S. and Israel decide to launch one. Past Israeli operations, such as "People as the Lion" (Operation "Lion's Roar"), targeted Iran's nuclear facilities. However, a later 42-day operation, also referred to as "Lion's Roar," focused primarily on Iran's military-industrial complex, military and state facilities, navy, and missile systems, with limited strikes on symbols of power and IRGC sites.
Israeli security forces are also contemplating a scenario where Iran initiates an attack, possibly driven by its worsening economic crisis and fears of new U.S. and Israeli actions, especially after being caught off guard in previous instances. A source indicated that preparing for broad campaigns, as opposed to targeted strikes, takes weeks within systems like the U.S. military.
This assessment follows previous reports of a U.S. military buildup in the Middle East fueling speculation about a new stage of confrontation with Iran. Israel has also noted signs of potential regional escalation, which could occur after the U.S. midterm elections.
