Israeli Official: No Proactive Strike Expected Before Elections

A senior Israeli official indicated that Israel does not foresee launching a proactive military strike against Iran before the upcoming elections, provided Iran avoids mistakes. This statement comes amid heightened tensions between Israel, the U.S., and Iran, with Iran reportedly restocking its ammunition. The geopolitical situation has also affected global markets, contributing to a significant drop in Bitcoin's value and influencing oil prices and bond yields. Conflicting reports persist regarding the operational status of the Strait of Hormuz.
