Israeli defense officials are preparing for the possibility of a military campaign against Iran, assessing that Tehran will not abandon its nuclear program and that military action may become unavoidable. Despite high alert in Israel's air defense systems, a significant US strike on Iran is not anticipated in the immediate coming days.
An Israeli security source explained that even if US President Donald Trump were to decide on an attack tomorrow morning, it would take time for the US military to assemble its strike force in the region. Therefore, a large-scale American assault on Iran is not expected within the next 48 hours.
Meanwhile, Gulf states are bracing for the possibility of a broad American attack on Iran this week. They fear that Tehran might retaliate with attacks on economic and civilian infrastructure within their territories. Regional concerns are escalating due to the stalemate in diplomatic negotiations and the escalating threats exchanged between Washington and Tehran regarding a severe escalation if fighting resumes.
