Likud MK Suggests Possible Israeli Strike on Iran Could Happen This Weekend

Likud Member of Knesset Moshe Saada hinted during a Thursday interview on the program "The Open Studio" that Israel may be preparing for a military strike against Iran, possibly as soon as this weekend. Saada emphasized that these are only assessments and not official intelligence. His comments come amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran and heightened alertness within Israel's defense establishment, which has been preparing for various scenarios involving Iran in recent months.

During the interview, Saada said, "We all know we are approaching an attack on Iran, maybe even by the weekend, these are assessments." He also referenced the Saudi issue and noted the strong alliance between Israel and the United States, citing former President Trump as proof of shared values. Despite the speculation, no official announcements have been made by Israeli or U.S. authorities regarding any imminent military action.

Saada's remarks add to recent reports indicating that both Israel and the U.S. are maintaining high readiness levels amid fears of further escalation with Iran. Israeli Defense Forces are reportedly prepared to quickly transition to combat if circumstances require it, but so far, no formal decision to launch an attack has been disclosed.
