Israel's security cabinet convened for an extended session, reportedly lasting over three hours, to discuss the escalating tensions with Iran. Israeli sources suggest that the country's policy toward Iran will likely remain unchanged until after a trilateral meeting involving U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Chinese President.
During the meeting, Mossad Chief Roman Gofman, who recently concluded discussions in the United States, was present. This marks the first security-focused cabinet meeting in 40 days. President Yitzhak Herzog commented on the significant threat posed by Iran, stating that the "issue of Iran hangs over us and threatens the entire region."
Earlier reports indicated that the IDF was considering unilateral military action against Iran, independent of U.S. involvement, due to uncertainty regarding President Trump's stance on potential joint operations. The IDF is preparing various operational plans, urging political leadership to define clear objectives and expected outcomes, especially given the lack of international oversight on Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles.
Additionally, Israeli representatives have reportedly been pressing the Trump administration to resume military strikes against Iran, according to American sources.
