In light of the escalation of talk about the possibility of resuming the military confrontation with Iran, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation revealed the position of the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, Eyal Zamir, who expressed his support for military action to confront the Iranian threat, while stressing the necessity of choosing the appropriate timing and method for carrying out any operation in order to avoid unforeseen repercussions.
This position comes in conjunction with directives issued by the Israeli Security Ministerial Council to the army to raise the level of preparedness for the possibility of renewed confrontation with Tehran. In the same context, the Israeli army expressed its readiness to participate in any American military operation against Iran, if US President Donald Trump decides to resume military operations.
These data reflect a discrepancy in estimates within the Israeli establishment regarding the timing of action against Iran, between preparing for the possibility of military escalation and avoiding taking steps that are not based on an urgent security necessity, amid a political transition phase that Israel is witnessing and fears of expanding the scope of the regional confrontation.
In parallel, the director of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad arrived in Washington, DC, to hold talks with senior officials in the Trump administration regarding the war in Iran.
