Updated Israeli security estimates, issued following assessments conducted by the security establishment on Thursday, showed the possibility of a renewed military confrontation with Iran in the coming weeks. This development comes against the backdrop of recent events in the Iranian arena and statements issued by US President Donald Trump.
In this context, journalist Hillel Biton Rosen reported on Israeli Channel 14 that Tel Aviv had raised the level of alert and readiness, with the option of carrying out a joint military operation with the United States presented, along with an alternative scenario in which Israel would lead the military action alone.
The security establishment is preparing for several possible scenarios, including confronting a potential Iranian attack through a defensive move, or launching a pre-emptive attack operation if actual and tangible preparations are detected on the Iranian side to carry out an attack, with the aim of thwarting the threat in advance.
These preparations coincide with a complex political reality that Israel is witnessing as the end of this month approaches. However, the security establishment confirms that any fundamental security development will force immediate action, transcending any political considerations or timetables.
All options remain on the table at the present time, in light of the state of Israeli alert to deal with the possibility of the outbreak of a new confrontation with Iran in a time horizon that may be closer than expected.
