Israel assesses that Iran has restored about 20% of its ballistic missile production capacity that it had before Operation 'Roar of the Lion', according to security establishment sources. The assessment comes amid US-Iran negotiations, placing the Israeli security establishment on high alert for a 'situational surprise'. The security establishment is preparing for three concerning scenarios: a surprise Iranian attack on American interests including Israel, a rapid US strike that would leave Jerusalem without sufficient warning, or a bad political deal that would leave Tehran with the ability to enrich uranium, develop precision ballistic missiles, and fund regional terrorism. The IDF is tightening coordination with the US military and increasing alertness in control, warning, and air defense arrays. Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir went up to the Lebanon border and made clear to Hezbollah and the Lebanese government that joining an escalation led by Iran would be met with a severe blow.
