Military commentator Yossi Yehoshua revealed on the "Main Edition" program that about a month before the US elections, President Donald Trump wanted to initiate an attack on Iran. Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir opposed the move, while Mossad Director Roman Gofman supported it, arguing that there would be no other opportunity when Trump is willing to attack together with Israel. In the end, Trump backed down. Against this backdrop, the cabinet convened for an unusual discussion amid tensions in the Gulf. The report notes gaps between the Mossad and the IDF regarding the timing of the attack, and that the Iranians continue to threaten the Americans and attack their bases. A third American aircraft carrier is expected to arrive in the region. Trump wants a deal, but the Iranians demand conditions he cannot meet.
