First security assessment after the elections: on the agenda - preparation for an operation in Iran

Defense Minister Katz and Chief of Staff Zamir will hold tomorrow the first security assessment after the elections, focusing on preparations for an operation in Iran. The discussion will include the head of Military Intelligence and the head of the Operations Division, and will examine scenarios including an independent American strike, a joint operation with the IDF, and broad regional escalation.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon, the first security assessment after the elections will take place, headed by Defense Minister Israel Katz and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. The focus of the discussion will be the Iranian threat and the likelihood of an additional operation that could lead to a broad war in the Middle East. The discussion will include the head of Military Intelligence, Shlomi Binder, the head of the Operations Division, Major General Itzik Cohen, and the commander of the Air Force, Major General Omer Tishler. On the agenda: intelligence updates on Iran and its proxies, coordination with the US Central Command, and home front preparedness for escalation scenarios. The background to the discussion includes statements by US President Donald Trump and the possible political use of the Iranian story by the government. Meanwhile, the INSS Institute has identified movements of American military forces, including three additional destroyers in the Mediterranean, which may indicate renewed readiness in the region, but the institute emphasizes that it is still too early to determine whether this is preparation for an attack on Iran.
