Israel Prepares for Immediate Resumption of Conflict with Iran Amid US Threats

Following US President Donald Trump's statement on Wednesday that he might strike Iran "tonight," Israel is preparing for the possibility of an immediate renewal of hostilities, according to a report by Walla News. Despite these tensions, Israeli assessments indicate that the current confrontation is unlikely to escalate into a full-scale war.

Israeli officials have long believed that the US would not secure a permanent agreement with Iran. They view the American strategy as a tactic to buy time until the US midterm elections, aiming to keep oil prices low and avoid disruptions to the FIFA World Cup. A senior Israeli official dismissed claims that Trump had turned his back on Israel, stating, "Anyone who said Trump turned his back on us was wrong. Talk of defeat was premature."
