Israel may be required to carry out a solo operation in Iran, according to an understanding in the defense establishment, as US President Donald Trump prepares for a summit in China with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. The IDF demands strategic and budgetary certainty for long-term decision-making. Against this backdrop, a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expresses growing concern over a secret nuclear facility in Isfahan, which Iran has not allowed to be inspected. Iran has about 450 kg of highly enriched uranium left. Meanwhile, the US is thickening defense arrays in the region and has transferred a Patriot interceptor system to Israel. Mossad chief Roman Gofman traveled to the US in an attempt to persuade the renewal of strikes. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene the political-security cabinet on Sunday, facing opposition from Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir regarding the timing and lack of American backing. Security officials argue that in every round of fighting, its purpose must be explained.
