Israeli estimates: War with Iran may resume within weeks

A report by journalist Hillel Biton Rosen on Israel's Channel 14 said updated Israeli estimates indicate the possibility of renewed fighting with Iran within the coming weeks, after the Israeli security establishment held a series of situation assessments on Thursday amid recent developments on the Iranian arena and statements by U.S. President Donald Trump. The report said Israel has raised its level of alert and readiness, while the possibility of a joint military operation with the United States remains on the table, including a scenario in which Israel leads the military move. The security establishment is preparing for various scenarios, including an Iranian attack requiring a defensive response, alongside preparation for an offensive operation if concrete Iranian preparations for an attack are detected, and Israel may act to thwart the threat before it is carried out. These preparations come amid a complex political reality in Israel as the month draws to a close, but the security establishment believes any major security development could force immediate action regardless of the political timetable.
