Meanwhile, Israeli assessments suggest that the chances of a deal between Washington and Tehran have diminished after the Republican Party's losses in the U.S. midterm elections. Israelis believe Iran is unwilling to compromise, is stalling, and has gained confidence from the political defeat suffered by President Donald Trump.

Trump himself acknowledged that the conflict with Iran contributed to the Republican losses, stating in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, "I did the right thing. I would do it again." Despite the political cost to his party, Trump reiterated that he will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and that further military action remains a possibility.

Israel is maintaining a high state of alert due to the potential failure of negotiations. The IDF is reportedly prepared to resume combat operations against Iran within hours of a decision, though the final call rests with the U.S. President. Concurrently, Israel has warned Hezbollah against joining any new round of fighting, fearing that an escalation with Iran could spill over into the Lebanese front.
